Why is my Last Player Alive script not working?
So basically I am trying to make a script that finds the last player(s) alive. By using StringValues but it seems not to work I don't know why.
` game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
Instance.new("StringValue", player)
end)
end)
function Alive()
local player = game.Players:GetChildren()
local D = player:findFirstChild("StringValue").Value == "Dead"
local A = player:findFirstChild("StringValue").Value == "Alive"
wait(1)-- game time
if A == true then
local Message = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
Message.Text = (A.Name.."is the last player left!")
end
end
Alive() `

Well, you only called the function once. If you want to check who is the last alive, you'll need to either have an event fired, or a while loop. In my script, I'll use a while loop. Secondly, in your script, it doesn't detect if that is the ONLY person alive. It just checks if they are alive, even though others could be. So:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
p.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character()
Instance.new("StringValue", p) -- This line is going to insert a value into the player, whenever they spawn. I either recommend having this in the PlayerAdded function by itself, or having a separate script remove it once they die, which would be tiresome. #MyFirstSuggestion
end)
end)
-- I recommend having the following in a separate script. I myself haven't tested this, but I'm not sure if a while loop after an event is a good idea. I apologize if I'm wrong!
while wait() do
alive = 0
Last_Plr = nil
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v:findFirstChild("StringValue").Value == "Alive" then
alive = alive + 1
Last_Plr = v
end
end
if alive == 1 then
local Message = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
Message.Text = Last_Plr.Name.." is the last player left!"
end
end

@CorruptBullet Try setting up print() around the script. See where it stops Shawnyg 4330 — 8y

@Shawnyg I got it to work instead of a String value I used a IntValue and changed it up a bit and got it to work. Thanks anyways CorruptBullet 5 — 8y
