How would I write an all emcompassaing script that sets the player's values' to false on death?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to write a script that sets every bool value in the Players.SleepBrigadeHolder (or other player name) to false without listing every single value in it, on death of that player’s character. I’m not sure where to start, like where to put this script anyways. Help?

You can use an in pair loop to go through all the booleans and set those to false. You can also create a function where you pass the player’s object into the parameter for convenience.

I’ve read through the roblox documentation, and I am confused on how the player boolvalues would fit into (example code from documentation) this example:

local myDictionary = {
  ["Blue Player"] = "Ana",
  ["Gold Player"] = "Binh",
  ["Red Player"] = "Cate",
}

for key, value in pairs(myDictionary) do
  print(key .. " is " .. value)
end

What am I supposed to be putting in the myDictionary table for the boolvalues? Do I list every single boolvalue possible?

You can store arrays inside a key in order to have two values in one. You could also have a dictionary stored in a key if you want it to be that way. It’s not necessary to list every boolvalue, but you can use a loop that will do the same procedure for all players.

#5

Actually let me rephrase my question, I’m trying to do a loop that checks everything in the Player’s LocalPlayer to see if it’s a boolvalue or not. I’m not sure if the example or in pair loop is in this ballpark

You can do something like:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

--onEvent:Connect(function()
       for i, v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
             v.Bool.Value = false
       end
end)

and put it in ServerScriptStorage. You can also replace the Players:GetChildren() to Players.SleepBrigadeHolder:GetChildren()

#7 
for _,v in game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren() do
   if v:IsA("BoolValue") then
       v.Enabled = false
   end
end
#8

Just do a for loop and check their bool so like:

for i, v in pairs(Players:GetChildren()) do
     for i, v in pairs(v:GetChildren()) do
           if v:IsA("BoolValue") then
                 print("Is a bool")
           end
     end
end

And if you don’t want a disgusting amount of for loops then just set some variables.

#9 
local myDictionary = {
	["Blue Player"] = false,
	["Gold Player"] = false,
	["Red Player"] = false,
} 
for key, value in myDictionary do
	game:GetService("Players"):FindFirstChild(key,true).Value = value
end
