Winners

Lesson 8 of 18 in Coddy's Roblox Game: Disaster Survival course.

Surviving a round is worth a Win. When the round ends, every player still in survivors gets one:

for player in survivors do
	player.leaderstats.Wins.Value += 1
end

+= adds to a value in place. To tell whether anyone survived, next(survivors) gives the table's first key, or nil when it is empty.

Players need a moment to read the result before the lobby countdown takes the board back, so the round ends with task.wait(3).

Challenge

Medium

When the round ends:

  1. Give every survivor +1 Wins (instead of counting them).
  2. After the map is destroyed, show Survivors win! if anyone survived, or Nobody survived! if nobody did.
  3. Wait 3 seconds before the next lobby countdown.

Press Play, survive a round and watch your Wins, then Check.
