Questions about tables?
I'm a bit new to Tables, and utilizing them. I've got a few questions. First of all, I want my script to check if a table is empty or not. Here is the code I have so far:
1 | --I want this to check if the redTeam is dead, or if both the green AND blue team are BOTH dead. |
2 | if redTeam == "" then |
3 | --code |
4 | elseif greenTeam == "" and blueteam == "" then |
5 | --code |
6 | end |
And my second question, how would I remove a player from a table if he dies? My attempted code:
01 | function playerDied(humanoid) |
02 | local player = humanoid.Parent.Parent |
03 | if redTeam[player] then |
04 | table.remove(redTeam,player) |
05 | elseif greenTeam[player] then |
06 | table.remove(greenTeam,player) |
07 | elseif blueTeam[player] then |
08 | table.remove(blueTeam,player) |
09 | else |
10 | end |
11 | end |
Also, would the following efficiently call playerDied?
1 | while true do |
2 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
3 | v.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:connect(playerDied) |
4 | end |
5 | wait() |
6 | end |

First question:
1 | for i = 1,#RedTeam do |
2 | print(RedTeam[i].Name) -- will print the name of everyone in this table. |
3 | end |
Second question:
01 | for a,b in pairs(TableName) |
02 | b.Character.Humanoid.Died:connect(function(playerDied) |
03 | end |
04 |
05 | function playerDied(p) |
06 | for a,b in pairs(TableName) do |
07 | if p.Name == b.Name then |
08 | table.remove(TableName,a) |
09 | end |
10 | end |

Your answer to my first question just states how to print the table's value. How could I check if it was empty? SlickPwner 534 — 10y

Oh. I actually don't know you could do local numInTab = 0 for i = 1,#RedTeam do print(RedTeam[i].Name) numInTab = numInTab + 1 end if numInTab == 0 then print("No one in table") end ObscureEntity 294 — 10y
