If everyone dies before the round ends the game breaks

[slender tiger]

Everytime i try to fix it it breaks the rest of the script

[violet sky]

this doesnt look like a round timer.

and when you say the game breaks - break how, are you getting any script errors?

[slender tiger]

the round just doesnt end

it ends fine if theres one person left when the script activates

[violet sky]

wheres your round timer

[slender tiger]

Its meant to end when theres 1 player left not when the timer ends

[violet sky]

well you still haven't shown contents of self:EventTimer or self:HandleEvent so we can only assume what's going on in those, but if you pay veery careful close attention

[violet sky]

i asked if you were getting any script errors

[slender tiger]

i dont think so ill check

[solar glen]

** You are now Level 2! **

[slender tiger]

Because no one is in the round and it randomly gets someone in the round

whenever i try to edit it to make no one win if everyone dies it breaks the whole rest of the script

[violet sky]

yea thought so, so if everyone dies then #self.Players is 0, and then when you try to pick a winner which you assume exists, even though it doesn't, local Winner = self.Players[math.random(1,#self.Players)], this is the part where you tell me what you think is going to happen when #self.Players is equal to 0 here?

[slender tiger]

Yeah i figured that part out i just undid all the changes i made sinse my changes were just making it worse

[violet sky]

who wrote this code in the first place?

[slender tiger]

I copied it from a tutorial that never got finished....

[violet sky]

and now you can't get someone else's code to do what you want? oh my color me surprised, who'd have seen that one coming? who'da thunk, who'da guessed that you copying code you don't understand would end up this way!

[slender tiger]

No i knew it would end up like that.......

[violet sky]

in all seriousness you aint going to get anywhere just by stitching code, that is copy+pasting existing code and changing it slightly to try and get something that kind-of does what you want

vibe coding with ai is the same

[slender tiger]

well the game is functional other than that one part.....

[violet sky]

lol yea 'functional' i'm sure you've got all your gamepasses added in already

[slender tiger]

No it doesnt have gamepasses

[violet sky]

anyway yeah as you suspected yeah this is all you need to do, just handle the case where there's no players left, e.g if 2 players die on the same frame, pretty straight forward and very simple to do. or it would've been if you had wrote that code yourself

its like if #self.Players < 1 then ... handle no players() ... else handlewinner() end literally an if statement very simple

[slender tiger]

wait i just realised what i tried before made no sense at all

...

i tried to make it so that if #self.Players = 0 then it = nil but it was already nil if it was 0

...

[violet sky]

you need a basic understanding of coding fundamentals to write new code, this may help you: https://create.roblox.com/docs/tutorials/fundamentals/coding-1/coding-fundamentals there's no shortcuts to this.

[violet sky]

yeah you can do winner = if players==0 then nil else players[1] if you want to. there's an infinite number of ways to address most problems

each solution being equally correct as the last

the point is you should expect to make mistakes and bad code.

and that's okay. it will be bad code, but make enough of it and eventually it won't be bad code anymore 👍

[slender tiger]

Yeah but whenever i try to make something specifically for getting better at scripting i get bored so i have to actually make the code make something so i dont just give up

[violet sky]

yeah make stuff at your skill level, don't jump in the deep end and try to make a combat game as your first project

i've seen that mistake made many, many times

make +1jump/sec or a button simulator for example

if you can't handle +1jump/sec, you aren't making anything else.

@violet sky i seen you around and u look
experienced, have you made any games?

[violet sky]

i have made several across roblox and other platforms

have you made any games?

[bleak pollen]

Not yet

[bleak pollen]

still learning

[bleak pollen]

@violet sky Can i see one of ur games?

roblox

[violet sky]

i'd rather not advertise. why tho

[bleak pollen]

i want to see good games

@violet sky

Why wouldn't you want me to see

its just players trying other player's games

[violet sky]

i didn't say they were good

[bleak pollen]

Well

can i see?

@violet sky

[violet sky]

i'd rather not advertise

you are not my target audience neither is really anyone else here

[bleak pollen]

so

ur target audience isnt normal players
