How to remove a team if no ones in it then add it back again?
So basically I came across something that I really needed. It was, when no one is in a team the team is removed from the leader board and it gets put in a file in teams. Then when a player enters that team it re appears. Then that process should loop. After using that script I tried it in everything. A script in SSS, workspace, startergui in a local script, everywhere. but it never worked
So for the team removal
local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
for _, team in pairs(game.Teams:GetDescendants()) do
if team:IsA("Team")then
team.PlayerRemoved:connect(function(player)
local players = team:GetPlayers()
if #players <= 0 then
team.Parent = game.Teams.NotInUse
end
end)
end
end
And for the Adding it back
local Team = "NameOfTeam"
local function GetTeamByNameInUnused(name)
if game.Teams.NotInUse:FindFirstChild(name) then return game.Teams.NotInUse[name] end
for _, team in pairs(game.Teams.NotInUse:GetChildren()) do
if team.Name:sub(1, name:len()):lower() == name:lower() then
return team
end
end
end
local team = GetTeamByNameInUnused(Team)
if team then
team.Parent = game.Teams
Player.Team = team
end
Thank you.

Team.PlayerRemoved will still have the player on the team for one frame, and this is a known bug. This is the one frame that the script immediately runs in, so it will see that the player is still there and it will not do anything.
As an alternative, Players.PlayerRemoving should be viable for this type of situation. It does fire right before the player leaves, but then you can poll for when they actually leave the game and check if their Team has no remaining players. If this doesn't suit you, you could literally poll for the player to not exist under Players:
repeat wait() until not game.Players:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
But this is just me, and something that isn't this may work as long as it relates to checking if the player has left the server.
EDIT
I did also come up with just using wait() before actually doing anything inside the function. Recall that Team.PlayerRemoved fires one frame before the player leaves. The wait() function yields for 2 frames (1/30th of a second), so it's perfect for this.
