How would I create a plot loop?

[SquareFinder]

What I mean is like a loop in a process, but that process cannot have multiple instances of itself running at the same time. For example if you have a minigame a process that loops to organise when the game can start, and the timer, etc.

What I've done right now, (doesn't work) is to have a game variable that sets to 1 when someone joins, and starts the process with no targets. However, it seems it still is activating for all people who join.

The easiest way as far as I know on how to do that is to test if the Player Count (Which is a game value in plots values.) is equal to 1. Then run your process with no targets. There is a slight issue with this method because if /play is ran quick enough the process can be ran twice. To prevent this just don't allow /play.

This ^^^ also should have worked. Did variable you used have %default in it or anything that would make it unqiue to the player? You acidently set it to 0 somewhere? What you can do is assuming they are the first player do If Variable Exsits [Var(GAME)] and then set it to anything inside of the condition. Also keep in mind that any variable that hasn't been used yets vlaue is equal to 0.

Note: This is all assuming you are running it off of the player join event.

...If variable [(Game Value: Player Count) = 1] {
Start process: "Game Loop"
}...

Process "Game Loop": Call function: "Game Loop"

Thank you, I think although I did a comparison for if the variable equals 0, I should actually do the if variable exists (forgot that existed, i once saw it somewhere i think). I will try that, I don't particularly like doing the player count method, since if two players join in the same tick, it may bug out.

It doesn't seem to be working, my variable is set to a game variable, there are no % . Are there any bugged variable names?
