Room Numbers

Lesson 6 of 20 in Coddy's Roblox Game: Escape the Dark course.

A player should know how deep they are. Every room gets its number: as an attribute, Number, and on the sign over its door (Sign.SurfaceGui.Number).

Each room has an invisible Entry part a step inside its entrance. When a player's body touches it, that room becomes their Room on the leaderboard and their checkpoint: a player's RespawnLocation is the SpawnLocation they come back at, and each room has one, Checkpoint.

player.RespawnLocation = room.Checkpoint

Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) says whose body touched it, or nil.

Challenge

Medium

Give every player Room on the leaderboard (a leaderstats Folder with an IntValue).
In addRoom, set the room's Number attribute to count and its sign to "Room " .. count (Room 1 for the first).
Write setupEntry(room): when its Entry is touched by a player, set their Room to the room's number and their RespawnLocation to its Checkpoint. Call it for the Lobby and for every new room.

Press Play, then Check.
