How do I stop a function when a value reaches a certain number?

I'm making a prop hunt game, and I want it so when the prop value reaches 0, the while true do loop stops and goes from the top again and starts a new round.

I'm getting really confused with these terms like "Return" and "Break"

; I know what they are, I just don't know how or where to use them so some help would be really helpful.

Here is the code - I want the script to break out of the playgame() function and start the next one in the while loop.

Instead of breaking just call the function try this!

local lobbylocation = workspace.Lobby.Lobby.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0) local gamelocation = workspace.Maps.Main.Position + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0) local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") local timeevent = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("TimeEvent") local propcount = replicatedstorage.PropCount

wait(3) print("everything loaded")

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) plr.Team = game.Teams.Lobby replicatedstorage.ServerCount.Value += 1 end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function() replicatedstorage.ServerCount.Value -= 1 end)

wait(1)

local function playgame()--300 local timeAmount = 20 local timerText = "Time Left: " while timeAmount > 0 and replicatedstorage.PropCount ~= 0 do timeevent:FireAllClients(timeAmount, timerText) wait(1) timeAmount -= 1 if replicatedstorage.PropCount == 0 then print("HUNTERS WIN") resetall()

    if timeAmount == 0 then
        print("PROPS WIN")
        resetall()
    end
end

end end

local function playintermission() local intermission = 10--60 local timerText = "Intermission: " while intermission > 0 do timeevent:FireAllClients(intermission, timerText) wait(1) intermission -= 1 end end

local function resetplayers() for _, plr in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(lobbylocation) end end

local function teleportplayers() for _, plr in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do local huntercount = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("HunterCount") if huntercount.Value <= 0 then huntercount.Value += 1 plr.Character.PlayerTeam.Value = "Hunters" plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(gamelocation) plr.Team = game.Teams.Hunters else propcount.Value += 1 plr.Character.PlayerTeam.Value = "Props" plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(gamelocation) plr.Team = game.Teams.Props end

end

end

local function resetall() for _, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do local huntercount = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("HunterCount") huntercount.Value = 0 propcount.Value = 0 plr.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0 plr.Team = game.Teams.Lobby if plr.Team == game.Teams.Hunters then local propgun = plr:FindFirstChild("PropGun") or plr.Character:FindFirstChild("PropGun") if propgun then propgun:Destroy() end end end end

local function hunterwait() for _, plr in pairs (game.Players:GetChildren()) do if plr.Team == game.Teams.Hunters then local hunterscreen = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("HunterScreen") hunterscreen.Enabled = true wait(5) hunterscreen.Enabled = false local propgun = replicatedstorage:WaitForChild("PropGun") local gunclone = propgun:Clone() gunclone.Parent = plr.Backpack end end end

LOOPS

The break command is used to break out of a loop, such as for loops and while loops.

While loop

while true do
  if 1 == 1 then
   print("True")
   break
else
   print("looping")
   end
end

print("broke out of loop and script is continuing")

What this code does is if 1 = 1 then, it will print "True" and, it will break out of the loop otherwise, it just loops.

while loops yield the current thread meaning, it just halts forever, but if you use coroutines, your script can multi-task, but the while loop has to be in a function.

For loop

for i, v in ipairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
   if v:IsA("Script") then
      print(v.Name)
      break
   end
end

What this code does is it will loop through all the descendants of the workspace, if it comes across a Script, it will print the name of the script and break out of the loop and continue.

for loops are like while loops, it yields the current thread. There was another way of looping through a table which was the table.foreach(dictionary) and table.foreachi(array). These table functions didn't yield, so it's like a for loop except it doesn't yield, but these are deprecated now, so it's not recommended to use.

for loops will only work if ipairs or pairs have a table in the parenthesis. ipairs(array) and pairs(dictionary).

functions such as GetChildren() and GetDescendants() returns an array.

Notes:

ipairs is used for arrays.

pairs is used for dictionaries.

RETURN

local function RNG()
   local randInt = math.random(1, 100)
   return randomInt
end

print(RNG())

RNG means random number generator.

So, what this does is it generates a number between 1 and 100 then, it returns the result of the randInt then when I print the function it gives me a number between 1 and 100.

I was confused with return before, but when I played around with it, I understood how it works. So, you should play around with it as I did.

Any misinformation? Just reply below. I know this isn't an answer, but it should help you understand a bit.
