How to select players in a rotation?
Currently my method is straight up math.random and that leads to multiple same player selects and that's seems to unfair to me.
local canid = {}
for i,v in pairs(game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerInfo:GetChildren()) do
table.insert(canid, v.Name)
v.PersonType.Value = "Survivor"
end
local hunter = canid[math.random(#canid)]
game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerInfo.PlayerHolder:FindFirstChild(hunter).PersonType.Value = "Hunter"
What I'm looking for is a way to select all players in a rotation. That way everyone has a chance to play as the Hunter. Is there any way to make that in lua?

local alreadySelected = {}
-- I wrote a function for you to check if the player was already selected:
function check(player)
for i,v in pairs(alreadySelected) do
if v == player then
return true
end
end
end
-- now when selecting a hunter you will do
if check(plr.Name) then
-- rechoose because player was already selected this rotation
else
table.insert(alreadySelected, plr.Name)
-- make player hunter
end
now to know and reset the table when everyone has been a hunter you can just do
if #Players == #alreadySelected then
alreadySelected = {} -- this sets the table empty again
-- start rolling hunter again
end
You'll also want to have a playerLeaving function and use table.remove() to remove the player from the table if he is in it, if you don't do this then if #Players == #alreadySelected then
will bug out and your table will never reset! If this helped, please mark this as the answer
