Okay Very Simple Request: so I have a set of players within a table, how do I make it so that all

[pulsar flicker]

The players outside of the table get killed. Bonus request: uhhh how do I get all the players within a table to teleport to a set position but only if they’ve like not made it there yet

[prisma lance]

Can you explain a little better?

[pulsar flicker]

How about this how do I make it so it will detect all players that are not inside a specific table

[prisma lance]

You can loop through all players in the game, and then individually check if they're inside the table. Something like this:

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local plrTable = {} --add your players


for i, player in Players do
       if table.find(plrTable, player) then
                      -- do what you want if player is in table
              else
                      -- do what you want if player is NOT in table
               end
end

formatted weirdly cause on mobile

but you get the idea right

[pulsar flicker]

Yeah so for the if statement would I do if player.Parent = gameplayers do or is it something else?

[prisma lance]

why player.Parent?

[pulsar flicker]

Sorry got confused so what would I put within if table.find(gameplayers) and with else, would I need to get the character and humanoid so I can kill the player?

[prisma lance]

yeah get the humanoid and set health to 0

[slate glacier]

** You are now Level 1! **

[prisma lance]

first parameter is the table, second is the player

table.find(gameplayers, player)

[pulsar flicker]

Is this along the right lines? Also an error shows up with the current code displaying attempt to iterate over a Instance value

[eager terrace]

Could you not use if not table.find

I think you can in Roblox so instead of and if and else

[pulsar flicker]

But the for loop would be better to use since it goes through all players inside the table right?

Oh wait

[eager terrace]

For loop yes and it will iterate through your list

1 sec

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local plrTable = {} -- your table of specific players

for _, player in ipairs(Players) do
    if not table.find(plrTable, player) then
       -- set their humanoid.health = 0
    end
end

So hard on mobile

[prisma lance]

ikr

[prisma lance]

Can you show the output error?

[eager terrace]

I'm using ipairs since it can go over indexes

So imagine your player list
1 Gabe
2 Lucy
3 Devon

1 2 3 are index's which is auto loops through

[eager terrace]

Btw "Players" might not be a list
How did you get the players?

[pulsar flicker]

Alr currently testing it btw what does _, do in the code I never really understood what it does

Comes up with error

[eager terrace]

So its a placeholder imagine a list like this

{
[1] Lucy
[2] Jake
[3] Garry
}

_ just means the indexes 1 2 3
You use ipairs to go through a list from 1 to nil

Index, player

1, Lucy
2, Jake
3, Garry

[prisma lance]

can you show what the variable "GamePlayers" is

[pulsar flicker]

Ohhh I see

[prisma lance]

what type of data is stored in there

[prisma lance]

alright what about "Players" you used in the for loop

[pulsar flicker]

Also all the code that happens that eventually causes the table.find occurs because of an if statement of a gui I made that only me (the owner) had it enabled for

[prisma lance]

alright so instead of just "Players" it needs to be "Players:GetPlayers()"

[pulsar flicker]

Wait where I would I put Players:getplayers()

Would it be for the variable?

[prisma lance]

there

[pulsar flicker]

Cheers

[eager terrace]

Local Player = game.player:Get players()

[eager terrace]

I think he just meant change the line

local Players = game.GetService("Players")

To

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers("Players"(

[pulsar flicker]

MIGHT BE WORKING NO WAY

One quick sec

[prisma lance]

nah he already did it

your way isn't wrong but it won't update

[eager terrace]

Ohhh I see in the parameters

[prisma lance]

ykwim? if you call :GetPlayers() at the start and some new players join or leave, the variable will stay the same

that's why you need to call :GetPlayers() every new time

[eager terrace]

That's smart I get you passes the players instead of a constant

[pulsar flicker]

IT WORKS

YO TYSM

[eager terrace]

Nice bro

Good luck on the game

[pulsar flicker]

Thx man tysm for helping me!

[prisma lance]

I'm glad! have fun developing

[slate glacier]

** You are now Level 2! **

[pulsar flicker]

Yo so uhhhh I have it so when each player chooses a player number, they get registered into a specific spot in the table like table.insert(GamePlayers, 5, player) print(GamePlayers[5]) is it possible for the code to work with this since it kills me and states I’m not in he table when I have a spot in the table higher than 1

[eager terrace]

You could set it up like this, Store the players userID into your GamePlayers list
Then loop through players and if they arent in the list they get killed

for _, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if not GamePlayers[player.UserId] then
        --kill player
    end
end

you can still keep your idea of player's having a self assigned number but just not use that to loop through the list

[pulsar flicker]

Oh I see if I had 12 UserIDs how would I write the whole thing?

[eager terrace]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local GamePlayers = {}

-- store all the current players userIDs
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    GamePlayers[player.UserId] = true
end

-- loop through playerID checking if they are in the table
for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if not GamePlayers[player.UserId] then
        -- kill
    end
end
table.clear(GamePlayers) -- clears the table incase players leave or join

store them
then check against it

just to help you visualise let me show you whats its doing again

GamePlayers = {
   -- userid   true
    [123456] = true, -- is allowed
    [7891011] = true -- is allowed
}

the for loop is creating that for you

[pulsar flicker]

Got a problem where even if I don’t have my userid registered into the table, it doesn’t kill me

@eager terrace I’ve got functions in the script where it puts a players userid into the script, will I need to change it so it will just sort through that?

[eager terrace]

@pulsar flicker how you are adding players to the list

I'm imaging they get to the end of the obby

You maybe then use a touch events in the final platform

??

[pulsar flicker]

When a player activates a proximity prompt, their player gets registered into GamePlayers at direct indexes eg [4]

The code before worked fine but if there were missing indexes eg at 1 and a player wasn’t in the table that player would be stated to not be in the table and die

[eager terrace]

alright i think i understand

ive tested it and this works

the delay gives the player 10 seconds

so when the prompt is triggered it fires the onPromptTriggered function and passes the player who did it

then it just assigns them to the GamePlayers list with their userID and a boolean value meaning true

then gives them 10 seconds before it clears all players not in the list

[pulsar flicker]

Thx and can removeunauthorisedplayers() be called anytime?

[slate glacier]

** You are now Level 9! **

[eager terrace]

yes absolutly, its not passing anything so it should make it easy

just keep in mind its using a list that supposedly is full of userIDs so aslong as it has that its good

[pulsar flicker]

Cheers I’ll probs try testing this in the morning since I gotta go sleep

[eager terrace]

yeah fair enough enjoy

[pulsar flicker]

Aight

[pulsar flicker]

Btw tysm for helping me with this I really appreciate the help

[eager terrace]

all good i enjoy helping it helps me learn alot

[pulsar flicker]

Back so I think my best way to fix this is to make a new table without the direct indexes. Also for my new table if a player leaves the game will they not leave the table? So will I need something to remove them from the table if they leave?

[pulsar flicker]

New table along with the direct index table

[eager terrace]

well whats your issue

just do table.clear(tablename) to remove them from the table

[pulsar flicker]

The issue was I needed the direct index table to have player images appear on and off frequently throughout the game whilst having this one that worked but have all the players kept in there. Also, if a player was to die or leave how would I remove them from my table?

[eager terrace]

so what i think im understanding is :

you want to be able to display the players still remaining using their player profile picture,

for _, player in ipairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if player.UserId == userId then
            return player
        end
    end

if you use a for loop to loop through your players and check if their ID is in the table which holds userIDs you can figure out which players are still alive

then display their pfp

so with dying or leaving

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
    print("left")
    
end)

PlayerRemoving listens for if a player leaves

you can then search for the playersid find it in the table and remove it specificially

humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
            print("died")
end)

this is how you can tell if a player dies
