Any errors in your Output window?

Because the script is so long I’d start by putting prints before each if check so you can see where your script is being stopped.

For example say you had this in your code:

if x = 1 then
    --code

Now when you are wondering why that section of code isn’t running you can put:

print("line 15 of script, x = ", x) -- or whatever the line number is in your script
if x = 1 then
    --code

What this does is tells you the value of x and if it isn’t what you expect it to be then you need to troubleshoot the section of code that sets x.

You can do this before each if check to allow you to see how all the variables are working in your code.

its getting stopped here

	for i = 80, 0, -1 do
		
		if PeopleAlive.Value == 0 then
			game.Workspace.GuiValues.StatusText.Value = "Tagger won"
			
			for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				local oldCharacter = player.Character
				local morphModel = game.ReplicatedStorage.NormalTeam.Rig
				local newCharacterRed = morphModel:Clone()

				newCharacterRed.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
				newCharacterRed:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(oldCharacter.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
				newCharacterRed.Name = player.Name
				player.Character = newCharacterRed
				newCharacterRed.Parent = workspace
				game.Workspace.Values.InRound.Value = false

			end

				

			
			break
			
		end

		game.Workspace.GuiValues.StatusText.Value = "round ends: "..i.."s"
		wait(1)

end

Because I am checking if everyone has been tagged and if so this happens but it stops the while true do script form repeating and starting a new round.

#4 
for i = 80, 0, -1 do
		print(i, "PeopleAlive.Value = ", PeopleAlive.Value)
		if PeopleAlive.Value == 0 then
        --code

        print("breaking")
        break

Will tell you the values of i and PeopleAlive help you troubleshoot where it’s failing.
