My script only unpacks 1 item from a table?

Asked 244 views1 answers

Here is the area effected:

status.Value = "Round over!"
	local winners = {}
	for i, v in pairs(plrs) do
		if v:FindFirstChild("Tag") then
			v:FindFirstChild("Tag"):Destroy()
			v:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Survivals").Value = v:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Survivals").Value + 1
			v:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Points").Value = v:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Points").Value + 3
			local t = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Status"):WaitForChild("Winners")
			table.insert(winners,v.Name..", ")
		end
	end
	workspace.Terrain:Clear()
	workspace.LavaPart.Size = workspace.LavaPart.S.Value
	workspace.LavaPart.Position = workspace.LavaPart.P.Value
	for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local t = v:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("Status"):WaitForChild("Winners")
		v.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Health = v.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").MaxHealth
		t.Visible = true
		if #winners >= 1 then
			t.Text = tostring(table.unpack(winners,1,#winners)).." survived!"
		else
			t.Text = "Nobody survived!"
		end
		chosen:Destroy()
		wait(5)
		t.Visible = false
	end

It should make all the survivors name appear on the TextLabel but it only puts 1.

Can you make leaderstats and Survivals and Points variables so that you don't need to type out WaitForChild everytime?

I literally only wrote down each one time. :/

The reason why it only does one is because tostring only accepts 1 parameter, and unpack will return those values as each a different parameter

I put function together what does what you need, but there is probably a function out there who does it already

local function addTogether(...)
	local sumText = ""
	for _,k in pairs({...}) do
		sumText ..= k --do tostring(k) if the values arent a string
	end
	return sumText
end

so now u do this instead

 t.Text =addTogether(table.unpack(winners)).." survived!"

and it will work

u can also modify this function to add spaces or commas between the winners names
