How to wait until three or more players are in a server?

Asked by 9 years ago

Just part of a script I am working on I have currently got local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()

To save the amount of players as a variable called players, how do I get it to wait until players is greater than or equal to 3. Thanks for the help in advance, Dstructiod

Just use the NumPlayers property in the Players service.

repeat wait() until game.Players.NumPlayers >= 3

Or if you want to go the way you're going, do this:

repeat wait() until #players >= 3

For your GUI problem, try this (make sure this is in a Script and not a LocalScript):

if #players == 5 then 
    for i = 1,#players do
        local gui = game.ServerStorage.MF:Clone() --Clones the gui
        gui.Parent = players[i]:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") --In case PlayerGui doesn't exist yet.
    end
end

To accept my answer, look to the right of these comments and there should be a button saying "Accept this answer". Click that. For the GUI, I'll edit my post to show you how. Spongocardo 1991 — 9y

Use the Clone() method and put that clone in a player's player gui. Also you'll find an accept answer button on the right. Perci1 4988 — 9y

I don't want a GUI to show how many players are needed, I have made a GUI and I want it to show up on players' screen when there are a specific amount of players in the game so far I have if #players = 5 then game.ServerStorage.MF:Clone(game.Players#players.PlayerGUI) end But I think thats is wrong Dstructiod 0 — 9y

You can do something very simple, like:

if #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 3 then --Gets Players and checks if 3 are there
    --text
else
end
