Im trying to make a round handler with a sudden death system, but for loop stopping when it hits 0 but the repeat isnt
ive tried printing it and using an intvalue, but it didnt work
local numb = 0
local timesudden = 4
local suddendeath = false
repeat
task.wait(1)
for none, player in workspace.players.gamers:GetChildren()do
script.players.Value = none
if suddendeath == false then
text.Text = none .. " Players Left" .. " - " .. maplist[mapnumb]
else
text.Text = "SUDDEN DEATH!!!"
end
print(none)
print(timesudden)
timesudden -= 1
if timesudden == 0 then
text.Text = "SUDDEN DEATH!!!"
suddendeath = true
game.ReplicatedStorage["the goobler"]:Clone().Parent = workspace
end
if timesudden <= 0 then
timesudden = 0
end
script.players.Value = none
end
until script.players.Value == -1 or script.players.Value == 6
print("weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee")```
Do you mean to use “break” or “continue” in the for loop instead of “repeat until” ?
“break” breaks the for loop and “continue” skips the block of code for this value and continues to the next one.
I’m sorry, I’m pretty new in luau coding but seeing as nobody has replied to you yet I wanted to reply.
If I understood correctly what you’re saying, and the code you provided is the only code modifying the value script.players.Value , then the for loop stops when it stops iterating through the game’s players, just for the repeat to run it again if its until conditions aren’t met.
Now, the repeat breaks until:
your amount of players in the game is either -1 (impossible) or 6, which doesn’t make much sense… if you would like the repeat to stop when there are no more players in the game then compare to 0, not -1 (same logic applies if you would like to stop when there’s only one player left: compare to 1).
The for loop ends when it ends iterating through all the players in the game and then the repeat runs it again… if you would like the for loop to end early then use break when the player left amount is 1.
If you would like to run some code while there are still 2 or more players in the game, you can use a while loop instead:
while script.players.Value > 1 do
-- code to run for when there are 2 or more players
end
-- code that runs when there's only one player left, or none.
Sudden death usually triggers a change in rules.. faster damage, insta-kills, or some added hazard. It’s not a separate countdown, it just modifies what happens while time continues.
You’ll have to be very specific about what you want here.
A countdown to 6 or an adjusted time then down to 0.
As is it looks like you’re stopping when there are 6 players left (or -1, which probably never happens). That’s not a countdown at all.. it’s just watching player count.
