How to delete a player's value after they die?

Asked 275 views1 answers

I'm working on a script that delete's a player's value when they die, so that they are not in the round anymore.

I have the value stored in ServerStorage inside of a folder named 'PlayersAlive'.

The game detects when a player dies, but I'm not quite sure how to just delete their value instead of the entire list of values.

This is what I have:

elseif Player.Character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
		
		print "Player died!"
		
		break
		
		
		end

Not quite sure what to add in here? Thanks for any help, and feel free to ask for more info if you need it.

game.ServerStorage.PlayersFolder[Player.Name]:Destroy() --This is assuming the values name is equal to the player's name.

If you can provide more code than that then it would be great.

First of all, break is a command used to "break" a loop. In this case, I'm not sure if you are inside a loop but if you are not then try using return to get out of the if statement instead.

A method for detecting when a Player dies is using the Died() event through the player's Humanoid.

character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function()
	print("Player "..character.Name.." has died!")


	--You would also remove the value in here

	local value = --[[Location of the value]]--
	
	value:Destroy()
	--or
	value.Value = false -- if its a bool value.
end)

You should provide a little bit more code so I can actually see what you're trying to do.
