Script isn't changing a value when a player joins?
I have a script that changes a value inside of replicated storage when a player joins or leaves. Here is my script:
wait(1)
local Players = game:GetService("Players") --gets players
local value = script.Parent.PlayersOnline
local PlayerCount = #Players:GetPlayers() --gets the amount of players
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() --if a player gets added,
PlayerCount = PlayerCount + 1 --increase the playercount by 1
value.Value = PlayerCount
end)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function() --if a player gets removed,
PlayerCount = PlayerCount - 1 --decrease the playercount by 1
value.Value = PlayerCount
end)
When someone joins, the value doesn't change for some reason. Any suggestions?

Is this a LocalScript or a Server Script? proqrammed 285 — 3y

If you're testing in Play Solo mode in Roblox Studio, sometimes the player loads too fast and the event isn't fired. To fix it, either create a proper local server or add a function to the event and loop through the players to not miss any of them. Example:
function onPlayerAdded(player)
--Codes here
end
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do --looping through the players list
onPlayerAdded(player)
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded) -- attaching the function to the event
For the PlayerRemoving event, you can also do the same.

Turns out that the script just doesn't work inside of ReplicatedStorage. Sorry about that. DemGame 271 — 3y
