Hey roblox!
After a couple of months of leaving roblox development and exploring elsewhere i’ve decided to return, I am wanting to create a game similar to rap battles though I have been stuck for a couple days on a percentage system for picking the “rapper”. I have tried the below although this seems cluttered and won’t easily allow access for round systems/monetisation. I have looked all over the internet and the most I can find is a really confusing and cluttered free model. If anyone could point me in the right direction of how i’d calculate/change percentages please let me know as I have a rough idea of actually picking the player once I have the percent! Thanks!
local percenthold = game.ReplicatedStorage.percent
function UpdatePoints()
wait(.01)
local total = 0
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
print(v.name .. "'s percent is "..v.percent.value)
total += v.percent.value
end
print("Total is "..total)
local newtotplus = total
local newtotminu = total
if(total > 100) then
print("bigger than")
while (newtotminu > 100) do
wait(0.01)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if(newtotminu > 100) then
newtotminu -= 1
v.percent.Value -= 1
end
end
end
end
if(total < 100) then
print("smaller than")
while(newtotplus < 100) do
wait(0.01)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if(newtotplus < 100) then
newtotplus += 1
v.percent.Value += 1
end
end
end
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
PlayerAdded(plr)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
UpdatePoints()
end)
function PlayerAdded(plr)
--- Give added player percentage holder
local clone = percenthold:Clone()
clone.Parent = plr
clone.Value = 100 / #game.Players:GetPlayers()
---
wait(.01)
local total = 0
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
print(v.name .. "'s percent is "..v.percent.value)
total += v.percent.value
end
print("Total is "..total)
local newtotplus = total
local newtotminu = total
if(total > 100) then
print("bigger than")
while (newtotminu > 100) do
wait(0.01)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if(newtotminu > 100) then
if(v.name ~= plr.name) then
newtotminu -= 1
v.percent.Value -= 1
end
end
end
end
elseif(total < 100) then
print("smaller than")
while(newtotplus < 100) do
wait(0.01)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if(newtotplus < 100) then
newtotplus += 1
v.percent.Value += 1
end
end
end
end
end
while true do
wait(30)
UpdatePoints()
end
(If this is the best way of doing it please also let me know so i can continue!
