How do I make it so that when there is only 1 person left on a team then it runs some code? heres the code I tried but it doesn't work

`1`	`if` `game.Teams.Survialists.NumPlayers` `==` `1` `then`

`2`	`-- code in here`

Please answer ASAP

Getting Team Player Count

What you're doing wrong: First off, you are trying to read from the NumPlayers property. This is an issue because NumPlayers does not exist in teams, as it is a property unique to the Player Service and nothing more.

If you take a look at the properties of a team instance, you'll notice that there is no property that gives you the number of players that may be on that team. To solve this issue, we must loop through the amount of Players and compare their teamColor to add to a specific count. Since the team you are looking for is called 'survivalists', I will focus on that.

First off, let's design a loop to go through all the players in the current game. We will put this in a function to ensure we can run the code anytime we want to. For simple terms, we will name the function getNumSurvivors:

1function getNumSurvivors()
2     for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
3       print(plr.Name .. " is a player!")
4     end
5end

Great! That wasn't so bad. Now let's set up some variables that are designated to help us in our checking of which player is on the survival team. Of course we first need the compiler to know which team we want to check the number of players for:

1function getNumSurvivors()
2local numPlrs = 0;
3local team = game.Teams["Survivalists"]
4for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
5       print(plr.Name .. " is a player!")
6end
7return numPlrs;
8end

We are now at the end of what we must do! All thats left is to check which Players have the same TeamColor as the Survivors team color! To do this, we just put in a conditional and increment [increase] numPlrs based on the results.

01function getNumSurvivors()
02local numPlrs = 0;
03local team = game.Teams["Survivalists"]
04for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
05   if plr.TeamColor == team.TeamColor then
06       numPlrs = numPlrs + 1;
07  end
08end
09return numPlrs;
10end

DING!

The function is now done! Now we must come back to your question, How do I make it so that when there is only 1 person left on a team then it runs some code?

To do this, we can constantly loop the code until only one player remains. Remember that getNumSurvivors returns the exact number of Players on a team.

01function getNumSurvivors()
02local numPlrs = 0;
03local team = game.Teams["Survivalists"]
04for i,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
05   if plr.TeamColor == team.TeamColor then
06       numPlrs = numPlrs + 1;
07  end
08end
09return numPlrs;
10end
11 
12repeat
13numSurvivors = getNumSurvivors()
14wait()
15until numSurvivors == 1;
16--code

At this point, the code has ensured us that only one survivor is left. Now, we can easily just run code right under this section as noted with '--code'.
