How do I make this a game loop forever?
Hi I was making a game script, but the problem with the game script is when a player gets 5 points the game ends. Can you help me with making it a loop forever. Please?
local gameOver = false
if gameOver == false then
for a = 1,1,1 do
game.ReplicatedStorage.Cows:Clone().Parent = workspace
end
warn("running game")
while true do
wait()
for _, player in next, game.Players:GetPlayers() do
if getScore(player, "Cow Clicks") >= highScore then
gameOver = true
end
end
if gameOver == true then
game.Workspace.Cows:remove()
warn("wins")
wait(5)
gameOver = false
for i, player in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso") then
player.Character:MoveTo(spawns[i])
player.leaderstats["Cow Clicks"].Value = 0
gameOver = false
end
end
end
end
end

You're making it way too complicated. Your code is executed from top to bottom -- it's sequential. Therefore to make A happen before B, all you literally need to do is write A before you write B! You don't need to do all these checks with a game over variable, you just need to code everything in the correct order.
I'm not gonna write a ton of code for you, but here's how I think you should structure it:
while true do
--Intermission, will probably include a for loop with a count down.
--Intermission is now over. Begin the round.
--Wait until the round is over. Again, will most likely be a timer.
--Round is now over. Tele players, delete maps, etc etc.
--Now it goes back to Intermission at the top.
end
To be perfectly honest I think you should uh delete from line 1 to everything
Edit: Heres an explanation
You are making a game last forever. There is no need for a gameOver variable. Delete line 1.
Your for loop wants to end your awesome forever game. Delete lines 3-12.
YOUR IF STATEMENT WANTS TO CHECK IF THE GAMES OVER? THE GAMES NEVER OVER. Delete lines 13-18.
Why do we need to reset the scores and positions. Sounds suspiciously as if the GAMES GONNA BE OVER!! Delete lines 19-24.
Now you have an empty while loop. Delete line 26 and above.
