Please use the little blue button on the top to format your code. It's really hard to read and thus makes it hard for us to help you. Sensei_Developer 298 — 5y

you can't have two while loops running simultaneously. one loop should be enough to do the job.

EDIT: fixed player checking

Thank you so much! Btw, do you know a way I can print the name of the player who won? Hederlunden 19 — 5y

when the round starts, you'd have to create a value for each player showing that they're in the game. once they're eliminated, remove the value. eventually, if only one person has a value, they're the winner. Mayk728 855 — 5y

Hmm... I'm kinda new to scripting so can you show an example of that? Hederlunden 19 — 5y

i've edited the script. if it works, please upvote. i spent 40 min on this lol. Mayk728 855 — 5y

21:11:24.988 - ServerScriptService.Test:51: attempt to index nil with 'Character' Hederlunden 19 — 5y

:/ I'm sorry... Hederlunden 19 — 5y

that's my bad! i just did another edit, go ahead and try again. :) Mayk728 855 — 5y

everything was going great but... this is probably the last bug... 21:32:35.281 - ServerScriptService.Test:90: attempt to concatenate nil with string Hederlunden 19 — 5y

made an edit to line 90, try again o.O and i apologize for the errors, i can't test this script each time so things are bound to happen. Mayk728 855 — 5y

ServerScriptService.Test:90: attempt to concatenate boolean with string im sorry Hederlunden 19 — 5y

LOL my bad, i should be sorry here. made another adjustment to line 90. if there's still an error, you can add me on Roblox and i can continue further testing with you. Mayk728 855 — 5y

do you know why it never gets to print("four?") return end print("four?") --moving on? end end Hederlunden 19 — 5y

not sure what that's supposed to mean? Mayk728 855 — 5y

its in the end of the script but I added a print("four") to see how long the script would go. But it never got to that and after a player wins, I want to repeat it (i will add more later)) Hederlunden 19 — 5y

it's because at line 96, i added "return" which restarts the while loop. you can remove it and it should print what you wanted after. Mayk728 855 — 5y

Dude.. Thank you so much for all of this! If I could upvote I would but I don't have enough reputation. :(. But I will definetly remember this and upvote when I can! Hederlunden 19 — 5y

np!! :D Mayk728 855 — 5y
