Reset all values in a mapping

Question

I am trying to figure out how to have the balance of all players reset to (amount) when a certain condition happens. This is the function that will update a specific player balance. How do I make it reset the balance of all players at once?

mapping(address => uint256) investments;
mapping(address => uint256) joined;
mapping(address => uint256) withdrawals;
mapping(address => uint256) withdrawns;

// add deposit to curent deposit, and update joined timer
   investments[_customerAddress] = investments[_customerAddress].add(_incomingTronix);
   joined[_customerAddress] = block.timestamp;

   emit Invest(_customerAddress, _incomingTronix);
}

For resetting the balance stored in mapping, you have to record the mapping entries, because you cannot use .length property with mappings. So one thing you can do to maintain array of addresses along with the mapping. Like so:

mapping(address => uint256) investments;
address [] investers;

Whenever you add something in the investments mapping, you can also push that address to investors array. Then you can do reset logic something like that:

function resetBalance(uint256 value)public {
    for (uint i=0; i< investers.length ; i++){
        investments[investers[i]] = value;
    }
}

Which can reset the balance with value. For sure you can use any logic you want here. Also this same approach can be use with all other players.

Since mapping are not behaving like arrays so we cannot directly get the value of from mapping, we must need to track keys of mapping.

Hope it helps...
