How do I make this part of my script detect who the murderer is and give them this weapon?
So I am trying to write a script that essentially goes through the player list and decides who is a "Murderer" and "Detective". My problem is with a section of the code that is not working for some reason. Any help would be appreciated.
The code below is supposed to give the murderer a sword, but it is completely ignoring the "if x == v then" portion.
local Murderer = math.random(1,#Playing)
local Man = ""
for i,v in pairs(Playing) do
if i == Murderer then
Man = v
print(v.." is the murderer!")
for e,x in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
print("Ran the Testing")
print(x)
if x == v then
print("Gotcha")
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Sword = RS.Sword:Clone()
Sword.Parent = x.Backpack
end
end
end
end
I am using a table to express who is currently playing in the round, which is shown with the math.random(1,#Playing).

Select a random player, then clone the tool into their backpack; something like this:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local NewRound = function()
local Murderer = Players:GetPlayers()[math.random(1, #Players:GetPlayers())]
local Sword = tool_here:Clone()
Sword.Parent = Murderer.Backpack
print(Murderer.Name .. " is the murderer")
end
NewRound()

Well the reason why I create a table of the current players as "Playing" is because then I could remove and add people to the table. With just getting the players, I can't think of a way to separate the murderer from the detective, and so there might be a case where the murderer is also the detective? Mellodax 2 — 4y
