Squid Game| Red Light, Green Light Game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey Developers,

I have been watching this new Netflix series called “Squid Game” I’ve seen some Roblox games that managed to recreate it.

I was wondering how I would go about detecting if a player is walking or jumping when the red light is called I’ve had a few ideas in mind such as values but that just seems messy.

Is anybody able to help me out?

You can use Humanoid:GetState() to check what they are currently doing and then set their health to 0 if they are moving.

I would check the velocity of the HumanoidRootPart on the character models then kill the player if they exceed whatever number.

What I would do is put all the players’ root parts on a list and check if the root part moves, you just place what you want to happen if they do. Like so;

local players = {} -- list of all the players that are "players"
for i,v in pairs(players) do
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded
if character ~= nil then
local rootpart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local oldpos = rootpart.Position
rootpart:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Position"):Connect(function()
local newpos = rootpart.Position
-- do what you want here...
oldpos = newpos
end)
   end
end

Well, I hope this is a guide. This is a pseudo code it means that it is untested. If there’s a typo then you might wanna correct it.

-- Insert on ServerScriptService
function onRedLight(humanoid)
    humanoid.Running:Connect(function()
        humanoid.Health = 0
    end)
    
    humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
        if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
            humanoid.Health = 0
            if humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
				humanoid.Health = 0
			end
        end
    end)
end

function onGreenLight()
    -- do stuff for the green light.
end

local RemoteEvent1 = pathto.RemoteEvent
local RemoteEvent2 = pathto.RemoteEvent
local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
local character
local humanoid

for _, plr in pairs(players) do
    character = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end

-- Remote Event that starts the Red Light mode.
RemoteEvent1.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    onRedLight(humanoid)
end)

-- Remote Event that starts the Green Light mode.
RemoteEvent2.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
    onGreenLight()
end)

To see if they are walking, you can use this boolean statement: if Player.Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then (do code) end
