What I mean is: The game waits until 4 players are in the server, then continues on. I tried to find a command for this, but it came up with nothing of the sort. Instead I got things like to check how many players are playing the game in total. I've seen games where if there isn't enough players it says, "Waiting for players..." I want to do this as well, but I cannot find a command for it. Maybe there is an alternative, such as checking how many players are in an area, such as a lobby.

How do you check if there are enough players?

This is done by evaluating the length of an array containing all current Player Objects.
You can achieve that with the GetPlayers method, paired with the length operator:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
print("Number of Player(s) in-game: "..#Players:GetPlayers())
You can integrate this code snippet into a repeat wait() clause to yield the progression of your main program until the requirement is met:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PlayerCountRequirement = 4
repeat wait() until #Players:GetPlayers() >= PlayerCountRequirement

how would it look like when a repeat wait() is added? Do I use repeat wait() until? or do I perform something different?
Thanks for this!
