Mini-Project 4 - Voting System

How Voting Will Work

• Each player sees buttons with all other players' names
• Each player clicks who they think is the Parseltongue speaker
• The server counts all the votes
• The player with the most votes is revealed

Step 1: Create a RemoteEvent

RemoteEvents let players send messages to the server. We need one for voting!

• Right-click ReplicatedStorage → Insert Object → RemoteEvent
• Name it "VoteEvent"

Step 2: Server Vote Counter

Add this Script to ServerScriptService:

-- Voting System (Server Script)
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local VoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("VoteEvent")

-- Store votes: {playerName = voteCount}
local votes = {}
local hasVoted = {}

VoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, votedForName)
    -- Each player can only vote once
    if hasVoted[player.Name] then
        return
    end
    hasVoted[player.Name] = true

    -- Count the vote
    if not votes[votedForName] then
        votes[votedForName] = 0
    end
    votes[votedForName] = votes[votedForName] + 1

    print(player.Name .. " voted for " .. votedForName)
end)

-- Function to find who won the vote
local function getVoteWinner()
    local winner = nil
    local highestVotes = 0

    for playerName, voteCount in pairs(votes) do
        if voteCount > highestVotes then
            highestVotes = voteCount
            winner = playerName
        end
    end

    return winner
end

Step 3: Voting Buttons (LocalScript)

This creates voting buttons for each player. Add a LocalScript to StarterGui:

-- Voting UI (LocalScript in StarterGui)
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer

local VoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("VoteEvent")

local function showVotingUI()
    local gui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
    gui.Name = "VotingUI"

    local title = Instance.new("TextLabel")
    title.Size = UDim2.new(0.4, 0, 0.1, 0)
    title.Position = UDim2.new(0.3, 0, 0.1, 0)
    title.Text = "Who is the Parseltongue speaker?"
    title.TextScaled = true
    title.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(30, 30, 30)
    title.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
    title.Parent = gui

    -- Create a button for each player
    local yPosition = 0.25
    for _, otherPlayer in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
        if otherPlayer ~= player then
            local button = Instance.new("TextButton")
            button.Size = UDim2.new(0.3, 0, 0.08, 0)
            button.Position = UDim2.new(0.35, 0, yPosition, 0)
            button.Text = otherPlayer.Name
            button.TextScaled = true
            button.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(50, 100, 50)
            button.TextColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255)
            button.Parent = gui

            button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
                VoteEvent:FireServer(otherPlayer.Name)
                gui:Destroy()
            end)

            yPosition = yPosition + 0.1
        end
    end

    gui.Parent = player.PlayerGui
end

-- You'll call showVotingUI() when it's voting time!
