Error: Workspace.GameManager.Findwinner:6: attempt to concatenate nil with string

Code:

while true do
    wait()
    local alive = game.Teams.Survivors:GetPlayers()
    if script.Parent.PlayersLeft.Value == 1 then
        local name = alive.Name
        script.Parent.GameStatus.Value = name .. "won the game!"
    end
end

Are you trying to change the text of a TextLabel? If so, use .Text instead of .Value fxrtifyy 0 — 4y

Not a textlabel, just a StringValue Aeroporia 37 — 4y

I think I know the problem, you're getting the players of a team, and trying to see the name of it. fxrtifyy 0 — 4y

You're getting a table, and trying to see the name of it.

while true do
        wait()
        local alive = game.Teams.Survivors:GetPlayers()
        if script.Parent.PlayersLeft.Value == 1 then
            local name = alive[1].Name
            script.Parent.GameStatus.Value = name .. "won the game!"
        end
    end

I'm pretty sure this is the solution.

I ended up just using a different strategy with for I, v in pairs technique. AND IT WORKED.

while true do
        wait()

          if script.Parent.PlayersLeft.Value == 1 then
                local teams = game:GetService('Teams')

        for _, player in pairs(teams['Survivors']:GetPlayers()) do
                 print(player.Name)
        end
        end
end
