Applying FSMs to Game State

Identify the high-level game states for a typical match-based game (e.g., Lobby, Countdown, InRound, PostRound).

Create a server-side FSM to manage the main game loop using the identified states.

Implement the core transition logic to cycle through the game states in the correct order (e.g., Lobby -> Countdown -> InRound).

Synchronize game state changes from the server to all clients using RemoteEvents.

Implement timed transitions, such as a countdown timer triggering the start of a round.

Connect state transitions to gameplay logic, such as teleporting players when a round starts and resetting stats when it ends.

Use the game state FSM to manage player controls, such as disabling movement in the lobby.
