Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I am new to scripting and I am trying to do something, how do I eliminate all NPC once it hits the timer, for example, how do I make a timer like 1min, then it will kill all npc?

#2

use wait and also For loop,I cannot send you the script rn since I donot know where you place your npc so could you please send where you keep your npc?

Everytime an npc is created, you could assign a tag to its humanoid via collectionservice, and then when the timer hits zero, use a for loop to loop through every tagged humanoid and kill them

Edit: i did not mean to reply to @tin_nim

Try this:

for i = 1,60 do
	print("a second has passed!")
	task.wait(1)
end

for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if v.Name == "NPC" then
		v:Destroy()
	end
end

Haven’t tested it, so I’m not sure if the 1 minute timer I made is accurate.

this won’t work if his npc’s arent named “NPC”, in any case where you want to organize npc’s by name or if your npc’s are parented to a different location

	task.wait(1)

for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	if v:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") then
		if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v) == nil then

Yes, I am aware of that. He can just change the string to the names of his NPC. You could also just add a tag that’s only inserted inside NPCs (if you want), like for example:

for i = 1,60 do
	print("a second has passed!")
	task.wait(1)
end

for i,v in ipairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	local tag = v:FindFirstChild("NPCTag", true)

	if tag then
		v:Destroy()
	end
end

you would never find a Humanoid to be the direct child of the workspace, you have to have the specific location of your npc’s humanoid while ignoring the humanoid of valid players
