in a tutorial, the teacher uses game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin) ?

the code only works in his example file, normally i've been referencing the Players object using this first:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

why is the 'game' static function not working in my own project?

it was working, nevermind. turns out I had 2 parenthesis after onPlayerJoin

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin())

when mine should have been

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerJoin)
