Help with sorting teams?

Asked 306 views2 answers

I'm making a new game and I need to sort people into teams. I tried to do it already but it didn't work... Could I have some help with how I can possibly make this happen? This is the script :

--Made by KordGamer
--Varibales--
Text = game.Lighting.Text
Maps = {"Testing", "Testing 2"}
NumMaps = 2
--------------

--------Script--------
---game.Players.NumPlayers < 2

if game.Players.NumPlayers > 1 then
	Text.Value = "Oh no! There is not enough players to continue..."
else
	Text.Value = "Welcome to the game! A new game is starting in a couple of seconds..."
	wait(10)
	Text.Value = "Picking map..."
	wait(2)
	RandomChoice = math.random(1, NumMaps)
    CurrentMap = Maps[RandomChoice]
    ChosenMap = game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild(CurrentMap)
    ChosenMap:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
    ChosenMap.Name = "Map"
    Text.Value = "The map selected is : "..CurrentMap.."!"
    wait(3)
    Text.Value = "Preparing your spawn areas..."
    wait(2)
    Text.Value = "Sorted! Joining round..."
    wait(2)
wait(2)
    for i = 40, 0, -1 do
    Text.Value = "Time left : "..i.." seconds"
    wait(1)
end
if Text.Value == "Time left : 0 seconds" then
	Text.Value = "Round over! Well done!"
	wait(5)
	Text.Value = "Resetting game..."
	wait(2)
	_G:Restart()
end
end

I do not see your attempt, and you need to be specific when you say "Sort Teams"

There are many ways to sort into teams, but here's my personal team randomizer (2 teams)

local teamed={}
			local numTeamed=0
			for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
				if v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('Light blue') or v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('Black') or v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('White') then
					numTeamed=numTeamed+1
				end
			end
			for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do --a loop that goes through all of the players
				if v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('Light blue') or v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('Black') or v.TeamColor==BrickColor.new('White') then -- if the player is in trainees team (or on of the teams)
					local randomposition=math.floor(((tick()*math.random(100))%numTeamed)) -- random number
					if teamed[randomposition] then
						repeat randomposition=math.floor(((tick()*math.random(100))%numTeamed)) until not teamed[randomposition]
					end
					print(randomposition..' '..v.Name) -- prints that number and name of person
					teamed[randomposition]=v
				end
			end
			for i,v in pairs(teamed) do
				if i%2==0 then
					v.TeamColor=BrickColor.new('Black')
				elseif i%2==1 then
					v.TeamColor=BrickColor.new('White')
				end
			end

Shawnyg,

I mean "Sort Teams" as in put players into two teams evenly.

My attempt was this, and no, it doesn't work.

local teamRed = game:GetService("Teams")["Red"]
    local teamBlue = game:GetService("Teams")["Red"]
    function ScrambleTeams()
	   local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	   local plrsNew = {}
		--Scramble table:
		while (#plrs > 0) do
			local i = math.random(#plrs)
			table.insert(plrsNew, plrs [i])
			table.remove(plrs, i)
		end
		local teamredcolor = teamRed.TeamColor
		local teambluecolor = teamBlue.TeamColor
	  for i,p in pairs(plrsNew) do
		p.TeamColor = teamredcolor or p.TeamColor == teambluecolor
	end
end
    ScrambleTeams()
