The String's Value won't change to Player's Name?
Basically, when players touch "Red" they should join on a table, and if there is a player inside, the String's Value should change to Player's Name
01 | local playersIn = {} |
02 |
03 | local string1 = game.Workspace.player1 |
04 |
05 | game.Workspace.red.Touched:Connect(function(hit) |
06 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
07 | table.insert(playersIn, hit.Parent) |
08 | end |
09 | end) |
10 |
11 |
12 | for i, v in pairs(playersIn) do |
13 | if v[1] then |
14 | while true do |
15 | wait() |
16 | string1.Value = v[1].Name |
17 | end |
18 | end |
19 | end |

Hello. The problem is that you used an in pairs loop which would run before the touched event fires which would mean the loop wouldn't find anything in the table so it would go on with the rest of the script. Instead, use a coroutine with a while true do loop which checks if a player is in the "playersIn" table. Also, I used a connection variable with :Disconnect() to prevent other players getting added to the table. Try this:
01 | local playersIn = {} |
02 |
03 | local string1 = workspace.player1 |
04 |
05 | local connection |
06 |
07 | local function onTouched(hit) |
08 | if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then |
09 | local player = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) |
10 | table.insert(playersIn, player) |
11 | connection:Disconnect() |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | connection = workspace.red.Touched:Connect(onTouched) |

Coroutines are a way to use code without yielding the rest of the script. Please upvote and accept this answer if it helped.

It works perfectly fine, It's just that I don't really like using couretines, Is there a way without using them? Borrahh 265 — 4y

You can use the spawn function it acts very similar to a coroutine. JesseSong 3916 — 4y

Also youtubemaster theres no point of referencing the player who hit the part on line 9 because its already been referenced on line 8. JesseSong 3916 — 4y

Yes I know. And, DO NOT USE THE SPAWN FUNCTION. It is a bad habit since there can be delays and you should really just use coroutines instead of spawn. youtubemasterWOW 2741 — 4y
