it is working, but because the server runs before any player is on the game, the loop recives a empty table, try adding a wait() before the loop, so your player can load and connect to the server

I'm not sure how to explain thats wrong, but here is a better solution to it (place this in a normal script in workspace or serverscriptservice)
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name.." has joined the game.")
end)
and if you want to print when somebody leaves
game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
print(player.Name.." has left the game.")
end)
"Yeah, thank you but how do i add all the players in the game into a in pairs loop?"
for i, v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()) do
print("Player name: "..v.Name)
end

So i just tested, it works when i do it inside of a LocalScript but not a Script, but does that matter? luxen1711 9 — 4y

It shouldn't really matter, but they should both work in either a LocalScript and a Script, maybe the Script is running just after you join, making it not detect you entering. i_Zesty 8 — 4y
