Round System printing "Everyone has died."

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m using this round system made by @reccur and I modified it.

I added something to pick a random person to be a giant and the objective of the giant is to kill everyone. The system only has 1 spawn part so I decided to add more and I used math.random() to pick a spawn point for the player.

Every time I test it, it says “everyone has died.”

I’m assuming this is because of the random spawn thing.

Code:

-------------------------------------[AUTHOR: reccur]--------------------------------


local intermission = 25
local roundLength = 300

local inRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local staus = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

local playingTeam = game.Teams.Playing
local lobbyTeam = game.Teams.Lobby

inRound.Changed:Connect(function()
	
	if inRound.Value == true then
		local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
		local random_giant = math.random(0,#players ) ---picks a random person to be the giant.
		print("PICKED GIANT")
		local giant_name = players[random_giant].Name
		print("GIANT_NAME")
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.size_player:Fire(players[random_giant])
		print("FIRED GIANT EVENT")
		for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
			
			local spawn_folder = game.Workspace["Map Spawns"]:GetChildren()
			local random_spawn = math.random(0, #spawn_folder)
			local char = plr.Character
			local humanRoot = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			local random_s =  game.Workspace["Map Spawns"]:FindFirstChild(spawn_folder[random_spawn].Name)
			humanRoot.CFrame = random_s.CFrame
			
			plr.Team = playingTeam
			
			char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
				
				plr.Team = lobbyTeam
				
				
			end)
			
		end	
		
	else
		
		for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do

			local char = plr.Character
			local humanRoot = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

			humanRoot.CFrame = game.Workspace.lobbySpawn.CFrame
			
			plr.Team = lobbyTeam
			
		end
	end	
end)



local function round()	
	while true do
		
		local requiredPlayers = 2
		
		repeat
			wait(1)
			staus.Value = "Atleast ".. requiredPlayers.." players are needed to start a round"
			
		until #game.Players:GetChildren() >= requiredPlayers
		
		inRound.Value = false
		
		
		for i = intermission, 0, -1 do
			
			staus.Value = "Game will start in "..i.." seconds"
			
			wait(1)
			
		end
		
		inRound.Value = true
		

		for i = roundLength, 0, -1 do
			
			staus.Value = "Game will end in "..i.." seconds"
			
			local playing = {}
			
			for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
				
				if plr.Team.Name == "Playing" then
					
					
					table.insert(playing, plr.Name)
					
					
				end	
			end
			
			
			if #playing == 0 then
				
				staus.Value = "Everyone Has Died"
				
				wait(3)
				break
				
			end
			
			
			if #playing == 1 then
				
				staus.Value = playing[1].." Has Won The Game!"
				
				for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
					if playing[1] == plr.name then
						plr.leaderstats.Wins.Value += 1
					end
				end

				
				wait(3)
				
				
				
				break
				
			end
			
			wait(1)
		end
		wait(3)
	end
end

Displaying “Everyone Has Died” means there are no players in playing, which they would be added to if they’re on the “Playing” team. However, since there aren’t any players, it likely means that plr.Team.Name == "Playing" evaluates to false for all players.

Are the players on the “Playing” team, and are there any errors in the output?

math.random(0, #players) generates a random value between 0 and #players inclusive. Lua tables start at index 1, not index 0, so there’s a chance no giant will be selected because there is no index 0. The same goes for math.random(0, #spawn_folder) with the spawns folder.

I’d recommend using game.Players:GetPlayers() instead of game.Players:GetChildren().

Ah, sorry for the late reply, but can you tell me which tutorial you made this from?
It would just be easier for me to find the error.
