Hello! I am creating a game with a round-based system that has an intermission timer and waits for one player to be remaining in the round. The round then ends and teleports all players back to the spawn.
There is only one slight problem with this. The intermission script breaks when a new player joins at the end of the intermission countdown. For example, a player is joining the game and happens to spawn in right when intermission hits zero. In this case, the round system stops for all players and will not continue until the server is closed.
I am not sure if game.Players:GetPlayers() is causing this issue, as there are no other posts on this topic on the developer forum.
If you need any more information, do not hesitate to ask. My code is shown below.
function changeColors()
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Tiles:GetChildren()) do
local colorIndexSel = math.random(1, #game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren())
v.Color = game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren()[colorIndexSel].Value
v.Name = game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren()[colorIndexSel].Name
end
end
coroutine.wrap(function()
while true do
local intermissionTime = 15
while intermissionTime >= 0 do
game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateStatus:FireAllClients("Intermission: ".. intermissionTime)
wait(1)
intermissionTime = intermissionTime - 1
end
players = {}
if #game.Players:GetPlayers() < 2 then
game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateSecondaryStatus:FireAllClients("At least two players are required to start the game.")
wait(5)
game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateSecondaryStatus:FireAllClients("")
else
changeColors()
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(game.Workspace.Tiles:GetChildren()[i].Position.X, game.Workspace.Tiles:GetChildren()[i].Position.Y + 4, game.Workspace.Tiles:GetChildren()[i].Position.Z)
table.insert(players, v)
end
print(players)
while #players > 1 do
local keepColorCountdown = 5
local colorIndexSel = math.random(1, #game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren())
local keepColor = game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren()[colorIndexSel].Name
local keepColorValue = game.Workspace.TileColors:GetChildren()[colorIndexSel].Value
keepColorValue = keepColorValue:ToHex()
while keepColorCountdown >= 0 do
game.ReplicatedStorage.UpdateStatus:FireAllClients("Stand on <font color='#".. keepColorValue .."'>".. keepColor .."</font>! ".. keepColorCountdown)
wait(1)
keepColorCountdown = keepColorCountdown - 1
end
for i, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Tiles:GetChildren()) do
if keepColor ~= v.Name then
v.Transparency = 1
v.CanCollide = false
end
end

print(players)
