player count display script?
I need a script that displays the specified roblox place's player count in a textlabel for one of my games
The place would be specified by an id, and would be inside the same universe as the game w/ this script in it
A lot of people have also requested a script similar to this
Would anybody like to share their knowledge?

Thank you to RayCurse for creating the code, you can see his post here.
Although this is a script helping site not a script developing site, I can give some advice.
Inside a script, you can use this to count the current amount of players:
local playerCount = #game.Players:GetPlayers()
GetPlayers() returns a table of all Players objects. The # (length operator) is used to get the length of the table returned.
Then use that information to set a textlabel's text to that amount. (using tostring(), since we're dealing with numbers not strings.)
Now for updating the amount for whenever someone enters or leaves the game.
We can use the following code:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() -- When a player joins
playerCount = playerCount + 1 -- Adds 1 to "playerCount"
-- Update textlabel
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function() -- When a player leaves
playerCount = playerCount - 1 -- Removes 1 from "playerCount"
-- Update textlabel
end)
To detect when a player is joining and leaving the game.
Hopefully this answered your question!
