I would recommend using conditional statements along the lines of something like this
local function foo()
if #game.Players == 1 then
-- code here
else
return
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(foo)
From what I can gather, you are trying to run the playeradded event in a local script, hence you are somewhat stating that it isn't running for the first person. This cannot be done as the player is added before the contents of the script are fired.
If for whatever reason you need something to be done on the client through a playeradded event, i'd suggest using a server script, and then firing a remote event to the client.
Server
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerJoined:FireAllClients(player)
end)
Local
local event = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("PlayerJoined")
event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(playerWhoJoined)
--your code here
end)
