Stopping a for loop mid loop

  1. What do I want to achieve?

I’m trying to stop the for loop if everyone is eliminated from the round. At the moment it bugs out and I do not know why.

  1. What is the issue?

The status bugs out and then the loop continues.

Lines 31-37 (It is labeled)

local statusText = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage").statusText
local repStorage = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage")
wait(#game.Players:GetPlayers()>=1)
while true do
	for number = 15,0,-1 do 
		wait(1)
		statusText.Value = "Intermission: " .. number
	end
	for _, v in ipairs(game.ServerStorage.barrierStorage:GetChildren())do
		v.Parent = workspace.barriers
	end
	statusText.Value = "Teleporting Players"
	a = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
	for _, v in ipairs(a) do
		v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.teleblock.CFrame.X,5,workspace.teleblock.CFrame.Z)
		v.Team = game:GetService("Teams").Playing
	end
	statusText.Value = "Teleporting Complete"
	wait(2)
	statusText.Value = "Game Starting"
	wait(2)
	statusText.Value = "Started"
	for _, v in ipairs(workspace.barriers:GetChildren())do
		v.Parent = game.ServerStorage.barrierStorage
	end
	for num = 5, 0, -1 do
		wait(1)
		statusText.Value = "Lava is rising in: " .. num
	end
	repStorage.startLavaRise.Value = true
	for num = 15, 0, -1 do                                                   BEGIN HERE
		wait(1)
		statusText.Value = "Time left: " .. num
		if #game.Teams.Playing:GetPlayers()== 0 then 
			break	
		end
	end                                                                                  END HERE
	repStorage.startLavaRise.Value = false
	for _, players in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do
		local rSpawn = workspace.spawnPads:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #workspace.spawnPads:GetChildren())]
		players.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(rSpawn.CFrame.X, 5, rSpawn.CFrame.Z)
	end
	for i = 5, 0, -1 do 
		wait(1)
		statusText.Value = "Game Over: " .. i
	end
end

How exactly is it bugging out, please give some specifics!

The status text goes blank or says LABEL.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think “GetPlayers()” can be used here, try “GetChildren()” instead.

GetPlayers() is used under Game.Players to get the players in the game.

You can actually use GetPlayers on a Team to get all the players on that team

I know, but it looks like they’re looking into something else that is inside of Team (I’m assuming a folder called “Playing” inside of Team), which is why I mentioned it, because if that’s the case then I’m still not sure if GetPlayers() would work here.

I could be completely wrong though since they might be moving the actual players in the folder, which should work in that case (I think?) so you can disregard my comment.

“Playing” is most likely a Team object inside of the Teams service

I would make that loop, a function so that it can break from the nested loop because as you may have seen, using break in a nested loops breaks out of all the parent loops (if that makes sense?). So i would do something like:

local statusText = workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.TextLabel
local function Timer(From, To, By, Check, FuncEverySec)
	for num = From, To, By do
		wait(1)
		if FuncEverySec then
			FuncEverySec(num)
		end
		if Check and #Check:GetPlayers() then
			return
		end
	end
end
while true do
	Timer(15,0,-1, nil, function(CurrentTime)
		statusText.Text = "Intermission: ".. CurrentTime
	end)
	for _, v in ipairs(game.ServerStorage.barrierStorage:GetChildren())do
		v.Parent = workspace.barriers
	end
	statusText.Value = "Teleporting Players"
	a = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
	for _, v in ipairs(a) do
		v.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.teleblock.CFrame.X,5,workspace.teleblock.CFrame.Z)
		v.Team = game:GetService("Teams").Playing
	end
	statusText.Value = "Teleporting Complete"
	wait(2)
	statusText.Value = "Game Starting"
	wait(2)
	statusText.Value = "Started"
	for _, v in ipairs(workspace.barriers:GetChildren())do
		v.Parent = game.ServerStorage.barrierStorage
	end
	Timer(5, 0, -1, nil, function(CurrentTime)
		statusText.Text = "Lava is rising in: ".. CurrentTime
	end)
	repStorage.startLavaRise.Value = true
	Timer(15, 0, -1, game.Teams.Playing, function(CurrentTime)
		statusText.Text = "Time left: " .. CurrentTime
	end)                                                                                
	repStorage.startLavaRise.Value = false
	for _, players in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers())do
		local rSpawn = workspace.spawnPads:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #workspace.spawnPads:GetChildren())]
		players.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(rSpawn.CFrame.X, 5, rSpawn.CFrame.Z)
	end
	Timer(5, 0, -1, nil, function(CurrentTime)
		statusText.Text = "Game Over: ".. CurrentTime
	end)
