Team Limit (GUI and Player Count)?

Asked by

I'm creating a script whereas only one player can be in a specific team via a team switching GUI (presumably a click button one). I want to make the limit "one", and if there's already one player occupying that spot, no one else can join that team, no matter how hard they click the team switching button for it. In case you're wondering, here's some details:

Team Name = Border Inspector

Team Color = Reddish brown

This is the current script for the team switching GUI:

player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

function Click(mouse) 
    script.Parent.Sound:Play()
    if player.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Reddish brown") then
        return nil
        else
        player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Reddish brown")
        wait()
        player.Character.Humanoid.Health = 0
    end
end

function MouseLeave()
    script.Parent.ImageLabel.ImageTransparency = 0
    script.Parent.Words.Visible = false
end

function MouseEnter()
    script.Parent.ImageLabel.ImageTransparency = 0.5
    script.Parent.Words.Visible = true
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(Click) 
script.Parent.ImageLabel.MouseLeave:connect(MouseLeave)
script.Parent.ImageLabel.MouseEnter:connect(MouseEnter)

I want to add in an command that will prevent a player from switching to that team if another player occupies that spot. I'll be so grateful. Thanks.

You can check if the length of Team:GetPlayers() is equal to or exceeds the max number of players you want in one team.

Also, if your game is fe, you should handle the team change via a server script, like so:

Server:

local teamEvent = Instance.new("RemoteEvent", game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"))
teamEvent.Name = "teamEvent"

local limits = {
    ["Border Inspector"] = 1,
}

teamEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, teamName)
    local team = game:GetService("Teams"):FindFirstChild(teamName)
    if not team then return end

    if limits[teamName] and #team:GetPlayers() >= limits[teamName] then
        return --abort if the team name is in the limits table and the number of players in that team is greater than or equal to the number in the table
    end
    plr.Team = team --otherwise set their team
end)

Client:

local teamRemote = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("teamRemote")

local function ChangeTeam(name)
    teamRemote:FireServer(name)
end

--somewhere else in your code:
ChangeTeam("Border Inspector")
