Lobby dummy script help

[Matiskra]

How to make it so that when only one used dummy is used, the rest disappear, etc. The script is below.

local Dummies = {
	workspace.Folder.Dummy1,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy2,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy3,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy4

}

local LastDummy = nil

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

	local Dummy

	if LastDummy == nil then LastDummy = 1 end

	Dummy = Dummies[LastDummy]

	local Hum = Dummy.Humanoid
	local UserId = Player.UserId

	Hum:ApplyDescription(game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId))
	LastDummy += 1

end)

Add this before your last end.

for index, DexedDummy in pairs(Dummies) do
 if index ~= LastDummy then
  DexedDummy.Parent = game.ServerStorage
 else
  DexedDummy.Parent = workspace.Folder
 end
end

worked out for me not sure what may be your issue with them not spawning in.

local Dummies = {
	workspace.Folder.Dummy1,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy2,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy3,
	workspace.Folder.Dummy4
}

local LastDummy = nil

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	local Dummy

	if LastDummy == nil then LastDummy = 1 end

	Dummy = Dummies[LastDummy]

	local Hum = Dummy.Humanoid
	local UserId = Player.UserId

	Hum:ApplyDescription(game.Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId(UserId))
	
	for index, DexedDummy in pairs(Dummies) do
		if index == LastDummy then
			DexedDummy.Parent = workspace.Folder
		elseif index ~= LastDummy then
			DexedDummy.Parent = game.ServerStorage
		end
	end
	
	task.wait()
	LastDummy += 1
	print(LastDummy)
end)

Now only one appears.

How to make it so that when only one used dummy is used, the rest disappear, etc

Isn’t this what you said you wanted, though?

[Matiskra]

Okay, I actually constructed that sentence incorrectly. What I meant was that when there’s, for example, 1 player, there’s one dummy. When there are 2 players, there are 2 dummies, and so on. I apologize for my mistake.

[Spacerator (NikiKITAECA)]

That makes sense. You can alter the code as such:

-- please use getservice and not game.
-- this should be at the top of your script
-- `workspace` is an exception - it's ok to use
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")

-----------------------------------------------
-- after the ApplyDescription
        local playerCount = #Players:GetPlayers() -- get count of players

        -- the idea is to make dummies appear as long as their index is below the amount of players
        -- so dummy 4 would not appear with 3 players, but dummies 1,2,3 will
	for index, DexedDummy in pairs(Dummies) do
		if index <= playerCount then
			DexedDummy.Parent = workspace.Folder
		else
			DexedDummy.Parent = ServerStorage
		end
	end

-- before the task.wait()
-----------------------------------------------

Okay, everything is working. I have one last question. Would it be possible that when the player disconnects, the dummy also disappears?

Depending on how your setup is, you can use game.Players.PlayerRemoving event and bind the corresponding dummy to deletion
