How would I end a function/return to the top if conditions are met at any point within it?

[civic parcel]

Trying to make a rounds system where if the players goes under 2 at any time it restarts to "Waiting for players..."

[civic parcel]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local started = game.ReplicatedStorage.RoundStarted
local ended = game.ReplicatedStorage.RoundEnded

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local function round()
local text = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("RoundsTextLabel")
local timer = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TimerTextLabel")
local character = player.Character
local humanoidRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.X, game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.Y + 3.5, game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.Z)
text.Text = "Waiting for players..."
timer.Visible = false
local playercount = #Players:GetPlayers()
repeat
wait()
until playercount >= 2 or game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio()
timer.Visible = true
text.Text = "Intermission..."
for i = 20, 0, -1 do
timer.Text = i
task.wait(1)
end
timer.Visible = false
text.Text = "Round started!"
task.wait(2)
timer.Visible = true
humanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.RoundSpawnPart.CFrame
text.Text = "Round ongoing..."
started:Fire()
for i = 180, 0, -1 do
timer.Text = i
task.wait(1)
end
ended:Fire()
text.Text = "Round ended!"
task.wait(2)
end
while true do
round()
end
end)

what is this? lua local playercount = #Players:GetPlayers() repeat wait() until playercount >= 2 or game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio()

[civic parcel]

waits until the player count is >= 2?

[waxen whale]

it only happen once

[civic parcel]

yeah i know

thats why im asking

[night goblet]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local maxPlayers = 2 -- change to whatever

local function checkPlayerAmount()
    if #Players:GetPlayers() <= maxPlayers then
        -- player amount is less than max players
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(checkPlayerAmount)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(checkPlayerAmount)

i think

this

[waxen whale]

you will need to know some fundamentals to make this work, i suggest starting here https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

[night goblet]

should be alr

[civic parcel]

i know the fundamentals

[waxen whale]

split code into functions and variables instead of one long function that cannot be interrupted

[night goblet]

kinda like this

reusable

functions

[waxen whale]

this is a good place to start

[civic parcel]

whoops

wrong script

[waxen whale]

you would have playeradded:connect(function(player) ... addplayertoround(player) ... etc ... end)

and in playerremoving removeplayerfromround(player) ... function removeplayerfromround(plr) numplayers -= 1; checkplayercount() end etc

[waxen whale]

you said you knew the fundamentals?

[civic parcel]

error

[night goblet]

uh

[waxen whale]

that wasn't intended for you to just copy+paste

[night goblet]

yeah

its like

example code

you can make a func connection

[waxen whale]

you will need to know some fundamentals to make this work, i suggest starting here https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

[night goblet]

then add multiple stuff

in that

[waxen whale]

this is scripting-help not free-scripts

[civic parcel]

idk how to make it work at any time in the function

[night goblet]

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
    if checkPlayerAmount() then -- make the function return true or false
    end
end)

another way

[civic parcel]

because i have to call it manually

[night goblet]

to do

[waxen whale]

you mean you have to put in work to figure out how to write the code? i'd call that manually. yes you would have to learn how to write the code to do it manually.

[night goblet]

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local maxPlayers = 2 -- change to whatever

local function checkPlayerAmount()
    if #Players:GetPlayers() <= maxPlayers then
        -- player amount is less than max players
        return false
    else
       return true
    end
end

thats a nice way of doing imo

i like making check functions

it makes code look clean

[waxen whale]

yes it is sign of s1~s2

[night goblet]

s1-s2?

[civic parcel]

how would i stop the top function

[waxen whale]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-2/functions-and-events

[night goblet]

yo btw do functions outside of the event so you can use elsewhere

https://create.roblox.com/docs/luau/scope

so many docs 😭

but its neccesary

[waxen whale]

read random docs pages you never know what you might learn https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/SharedTableRegistry https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/datatypes/Content https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/StarterPlayer

[night goblet]

uh how do i apply for a scripting rank, like what do i send 😭

like what works

[waxen whale]

show code

preferably game mechanics

[night goblet]

okay ill try find smth

[waxen whale]

not like 4 scripts each with one function in it

[night goblet]

would

modules be alright?

[civic parcel]

man idk

i've been tryna figure this out for so long

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local started = game.ReplicatedStorage.RoundStarted
local ended = game.ReplicatedStorage.RoundEnded

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
local function round()
local text = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("RoundsTextLabel")
local timer = player.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui"):WaitForChild("TimerTextLabel")
local character = player.Character
local humanoidRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.X, game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.Y + 3.5, game.Workspace.SpawnLocation.Position.Z)
text.Text = "Waiting for players..."
timer.Visible = false
local playercount = #Players:GetPlayers()
repeat
wait()
until playercount >= 2 or game:GetService("RunService"):IsStudio()
timer.Visible = true
text.Text = "Intermission..."
for i = 20, 0, -1 do
timer.Text = i
task.wait(1)
end
timer.Visible = false
text.Text = "Round started!"
task.wait(2)
timer.Visible = true
humanoidRootPart.CFrame = game.Workspace.RoundSpawnPart.CFrame
text.Text = "Round ongoing..."
started:Fire()
for i = 180, 0, -1 do
timer.Text = i
task.wait(1)
end
ended:Fire()
text.Text = "Round ended!"
task.wait(2)
end
while true do
round()
end
end)

[waxen whale]

depends on the modules, if you use them effectively then sure. whole systems that you can show off get more points

[night goblet]

dont worry its quite simple just try focusing on how to use events

[night goblet]

alright

like

[civic parcel]

because i have to do return it inside the function but i want it to return whenever it goes under 2

[waxen whale]

not long enough, apparently https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals

[night goblet]

my framework would be alright

[civic parcel]

but other things are happening

[waxen whale]

framework + show use-case example/working game with it and u will probably get s2

[night goblet]

whats the best rank lmao
