Help the noob! First script

[Bastek]

Now I have read couple go tutorials and know the basics of lua so I decided to try make my first script. I want to make a script for jailbreak that allows the warden to separate the prisoners into 2 teams using colour red and blue. Just by pushing a button like f2, and then to be able to return them to normal using the same button.

I though that this wouldn't be too hard for a first script but I might be mistaken. Either way, I don't know where to start. I watched more tutorials and guide but I have no idea what class would it go under. If I know where to start I might be able to figure out the rest.

I bet it's really obvious and I probably already read something on how to do something like that but like I said I never done one before and I am kind of stuck.

You can laugh as much as you want I really don't mind xD I do know it's probably dead easy

Thanks to anyone who is willing to help!

local pris = TEAM_ENEMY  -- your team number or constant
local red,blue,all,need = {},{},team.GetPlayers(pris)
need=math.floor(#all/2) -- half of all
while #red < need do  -- make red
	local outpl=table.Random(all)
	table.insert(red,outpl)
	table.RemoveByValue(all,outpl)
	if IsValid(outpl) and outpl:IsPlayer() then
		outpl:SetPlayerColor(Vector(1,0,0))
	end
end
while #blue < need do -- make blue
	local outpl=table.Random(all)
	table.insert(blue,outpl)
	table.RemoveByValue(all,outpl)
	if IsValid(outpl) and outpl:IsPlayer() then
		outpl:SetPlayerColor(Vector(0,0,1))
	end
end
if #all>0 then -- if last one
	for _,v in pairs(all) do
		if math.random(1,2) == 1 then
			table.insert(red,v)
			v:SetPlayerColor(Vector(1,0,0))
		else
			table.insert(blue,v)
			v:SetPlayerColor(Vector(0,0,1))
		end
	end
end

It should work.

local red, blue = {}, {}
hook.Add( "ShowTeam", "asignTeam", function( ply )
	local target = ply:GetEyeTrace().Entity or false
	
	if not target or not target:IsPlayer() then return end

	if not table.HasValue( red, target ) then
		table.insert( red, target )
		target:SetColor( Color( 255, 0, 0 ) )
	else
		table.insert( blue, target )
		target:SetColor( Color( 0, 0, 255 ) )
	end
end )

Untested, but you should be able to catch a grasp of how it should be done.
Plus, this way is way better than having while loops.

Thanks that's a big help :)
