I cannot tell when to end my last-man-standing round system

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Please tell me if this post is breaking a rule

So i’ve lately been trying to make a last-man-standing game which teleports everyone to a arena. The round ends when everyone but one person is killed. The problem is I cannot tell when there is only 1 person left. I need help with creating a script that fires a function when there’s only 1 person left.

Here’s what i’ve tried so far ( I planned to make it check every second if someones in a team )

Code that doesn't work 
	repeat
		wait(1)
		for i, player in pairs(game.Teams.Fighting:GetPlayers()) do
			if player == nil then -- Checks if there's no one on the team
				script.Value.Value = false
			end
		end
	until script.Value.Value == false

Thank you for any help!

The code is quite expensive, knowing the loop is every second. Why don’t you utilize signals, for instance if a player dies?

If the player died, the team reduces by 1. You could for instance use Humanoid.Died or code into the sequence where you switch the player’s team.

You can insert each player into a table, remove them once they’ve died and once the player count is equal to 1, you’ve got the last player alive.

The problem with that is that the round script is a while true do loop. How would I do that in a while true loop without it repeatedly doing Humanoid.Died?

Entire round code 
local Players = game.Players

while true do
	wait(30)
	-- intermsiion--
	script.IntermisionTime.Value = 15
	repeat
		wait(1)
		script.IntermisionTime.Value = script.IntermisionTime.Value - 1
		for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
			player.PlayerGui.MainGui.MainTextLabel.Text = script.IntermisionTime.Value
		end
	until script.IntermisionTime.Value < 1
	-- -- -- -- --
	-- teleports playeres into arena-
	for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local Spawn = script:FindFirstChild("Spawn".. math.random(1,10))
		player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(Spawn.Position.X, Spawn.Position.Y, Spawn.Position.Z)	
		player.Team = game.Teams.Fighting
	end
	----
	
	-- checks if team is empty--
	script.Value.Value = true
	repeat
		wait(1)
		for i, player in pairs(game.Teams.Fighting:GetPlayers()) do
			if player == nil then
				script.Value.Value = false
			end
		end
	until script.Value.Value == false
	---------------------------
	print("hi") -- just a print
	
end

Thank you for the help! ( Sorry if the script is messy )

When the round starts, make a table and add all the players to the table. Then use Humanoid.Died to check when a player has died. Once they have died, remove them from the table. Then check once there is only 1 player in the table and end the round.

I think you could get length of table using this operator: #

Example:

local table = {"a",2,"A"}
print(#table) --it should print 3

That means you can change code like this:

repeat
	wait(1)
until #game.Teams.Fighting:GetPlayers() < 2

But once player dies, you have to put player into another team.

I haven’t tested it yet but I think that’s the best solution. Thank you!
