I wanted for my game to only start when it has 4 players. How do I make where once a player dies they can only spectate and once all players die, the game can restart from the beginning. Kind of the way Specter is done. I searched everywhere and could not find how to do this.

A method that you can do is adding a data folder when the game starts you can add all playing players into this folder when a player dies he will moves the “StringValue” to the spectator folder, and add a looping checker if the folder is empty so the games ends, you can use an array too local mytable = {}, but still your choice, just to dont pass to a global variable
Do you by any chance have an example script of this? I don’'t really know where to start.
Alvin blox made a great video of something like that. You can follow the tutorial and just add the spectate
My problem is finding a video or something that shows how to end the game and restart once you have all players. Does anyone maybe have a link to a youtube video or an example of a script for this?
I put the video link.______________________________________
On a server script :
while wait(1) do
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
if #players >= 2 then -- Only break the loop when 2 players are there (you can combine this with a check for player ready or not)
break
end
end
while wait() do -- Round loop
-- What you want the round to do
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
break -- This will break the round loop
end
end
Where would I add the script you gave me? In a separate ServerScriptService? Or in this one that I have below. If in this one how do I place the parts in the correct spot?
local lobbyLocation = game.Workspace.Lobby.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
local gameLocation = game.Workspace.Main.Position + Vector3.new(0,3,0)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local timeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('TimeEvent')
local function playGame()
local timeAmount = 10
local timerText = 'Remaining Time: '
while timeAmount > 0 do
timeEvent:FireAllClients(timeAmount, timerText)
wait(1)
timeAmount -= 1
end
end
local function playIntermission()
local intermission = 5
local timerText = 'Intermission: '
while intermission > 0 do
timeEvent:FireAllClients(intermission, timerText)
wait(1)
intermission -=1
end
end
local function resetPlayers()
for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(lobbyLocation)
end
end
local function teleportPlayers()
for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(gameLocation)
end
end
while true do
resetPlayers()
playIntermission()
teleportPlayers()
playGame()
end
I also have this in
Starter Gui
Screen gui
Text label
Local script
local label = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local timeEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('TimeEvent')
timeEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(timeAmount, timerText)
label.Text = timerText..timeAmount
end)
Took me a while to write the code from the video but I can work on adding things to the code in this video. Thanks to all that helped!!
I saw the video mentioned above 2 times and spent hours trying to find the error. The intermission, characters and map load but when all players load into the map instead of counting down the 50 seconds it will end the game after about 5 seconds and load everyone back into the intermission. The coundown from 50 to 0 is not happening. I am missing an end somewhere but I cant pinpoint it. This is the error message I get. ServerScriptService.MainScript:169: Expected ‘end’ (to close ‘do’ at line 17), got ; did you forget to close ‘then’ at line 154? Can anyone help?

Found it! After this part in the code
print("End of game")
I forgot to put end. So it should be like this
print("End of game")
end
