My value isn't responding after the first reset?
Both scripts are ServerScripts inside the ServerScriptService
Alright, so I designed two scripts, one that distributes rooms into the workspace, and the other placing the users within a room which is not occupied by another player. However my issue is the room assigning script placing the players within a unoccupied room. The script below. . .
local Table = {}
local Maxplr = nil
TableNumber = 1
function Assign(Player)
if Table[TableNumber].Configuration.Occupied.Value ~= true then
print(TableNumber.." Occupied By ".. Player.Name)
Table[TableNumber].Configuration.Occupied.Value = true
wait()
Player.Character.Torso.CFrame = Table[TableNumber].CharacterSpot.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,2,0)
elseif TableNumber >= Maxplr then
TableNumber = 1
Assign(Player)
else
TableNumber = TableNumber + 1
print(TableNumber)
wait()
Assign(Player)
end
end
function PlayerAdded(Player)
repeat wait() until Player.Character ~= nil
wait()
local GetSpawn= workspace.SpawnPoints:GetChildren()
for i,v in pairs(GetSpawn) do
table.insert(Table,GetSpawn[i])
Maxplr = i
end
Player.CharacterAdded:connect(function()
Assign(Player)
end)
Player.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
Table[TableNumber].Configuration.Occupied.Value = false
end)
Assign(Player)
end
function PlayerRemoved(Player)
Table[TableNumber].Configuration.Occupied.Value = false
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(PlayerAdded)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(PlayerRemoved)
I have the print function on line 7, which tells me whom is being placed in what room. The Maxplr is max amount of rooms the game allows. For now, it's ten.
The first time, the script works 100% with the player spawning in their respective rooms.
1 Occupied By Player1
1 Occupied By Player1
2
2 Occupied By Player1
3
3 Occupied By Player1
Above is the prints I get after respawning each time. I have no idea in why it works the first reset and not the second, and so on. What I need to figure out is how to make sure it always returns them to the first unoccupied room, which should be 1. Help would be gladly appreciated!

I think that you are over complicating the problem. In this case it is much easier to simply keep a list of the players occupying each room and sending the newly joined player to first empty room.
Each room will be given a value from 1 up to the number of rooms. We will then initialize every value in 'occupied' array, which will be the same size as the number of room, to nil (not occupied). When a player joins the game we will find the first room that is not occupied (occupied[room] == nil) and then set the occupied value of that room to the player (occupied[room] = player) so it doesn't get assigned to someone else. When the character spawns, we teleport the character to the spawn location of that room.
When the player leaves the game, we simply search for them in the list and set the room's occupied value back to nil.
local occupied = {} -- List of players occupying each room
local spawns = game.Workspace.SpawnPoints:GetChildren()
for i = 1, #spawns do
occupied[i] = nil -- fill with nil
end
local function find(value)
for i = 1, #occupied do
if occupied[i] == value then
return i
end
end
return 0
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
local room = find(nil)
if room > 0 then
occupied[room] = player
else
-- All rooms full
end
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
player.Character.Torso.CFrame = spawns[room].CharacterSpot.CFrame*CFrame.new(0,2,0)
end)
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player)
local room= find(player)
if room> 0 then
occupied[room] = nil
else
-- Player not occupying a room
end
end)
