Constant Checking System?

So, without getting too technical, i have a script that pretty much plays out the game. It starts the round when 2 or more players are within the game, a random map is chosen. Along with a Killer & Officer. The players spawn within the map. And the killer & officer also spawn but with selected weapons.

I'm currently confused on how i can make a constant checking system, so if a player leaves when the map is spawning or when everything is chosen and players are about to be spawned, something happens, to the point where there is only 1 player left. The current script i have just STOPS when a player leaves and there is only 1 player left. No errors in output.

I HAVE tried something, but it doesn't work and takes up too much space. Please help. Thanks. :)

Also, when answering please stick with answer my question. I don't need people commenting on how dreadful or sloppy my code is.

I believe because you have it checking if it stays up to 2 or more players, if it goes below 1, it has nothing to do. If you add it so if there is ever 1 player, the game resets and it waits until another player to start up again.

Mind explaining a bit better?

Basicly, when you check for players, (2 or more with the function) and it sees that there are 2 or more players it starts. Everything goes. But when it checks for players and there is only 1, the script stops and doesn't reset the game to the original state. I might be wrong, if I am.. I am sure someone will correct me about this.
