Running Functions about Players?
I have created a game where it chooses a seeker and the rest of the people have to hide in a map(s). I have it basically scripted, except how the game loop is runned by/off. I HAD it runned like this...
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function() -- code to run the game (which includes teleporting, map choosing, round time, round end gui, more guis, and the loop end -- end)
The problem with this is that the loop runs everytime someone joins the game. So I had this loop run off another piece of code that allowed it so that the game needed 2 players to start. But even still that didn't change anything. The loop can still run multiple times at the same time, messing the game up:( I dont know how to run the loop another way? Plz help?

One thing you could do is use a while loop and check the number of players:
local lobbytime = yourintermissionlength
local play = false
while true do
if game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2 then
if play == false then
wait(lobbytime)
play = true
else
--your code
play = false
end
end
end
The way I would prefer would be something like this
repeat wait() until game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2
function game()
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr)
if plr == your_it_or_something or game.Players.NumPlayers < 2 then
return nil --(or something else you want to put to stop the function)
end
end)
--game code
end
game()
your_it_or_something is what I put for a conditional statement checking if the player was the seeker. Depending on how you track the seeker, you can change this statement. If you can tell me how you keep track of who is "it" then I can help you replace that bit. Here are some basic things:
-if the seeker's NAME is stored in a local variable, change the line to
if plr.Name == seekervariable then --seekervariable would be your local seeker tracking variable
-if the seeker's PLAYER is stored in a local variable, change the line to
if plr == seekervariable then --seekervariable would be your local seeker tracking variable
Once again, it would help if I could know how you store it.
