Why is my script skipping "if PlayersInTable[player] do"?

I've asked tons of people to get up to this point (most of the answers didn't work)

This is my script now:

01print("script started")
02 
03 
04local part = script.Parent
05local Amount = script.Parent.Parent.Space1.SurfaceGui.Amount
06local TPService  = game:GetService("TeleportService")
07print("locals 1 started")
08 
09local PlayerInTable = {}
10 
11local PlayersToTeleport = {PlayerInTable}
12 
13local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
14 
15Amount.Text = "0/6"
16 
17local counter = 0
18 
19local debounce = false
20print("all locals started")
21 
22 
23part.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
24    if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
25        local character = hit.Parent
26        local players = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(character)
27        table.insert(PlayerInTable, players)
28        print("player is in PlayerTable")
29    end
30 
31    if PlayerInTable[player] then
32        print("player table script running")
33        counter = counter + 1
34        Amount.Text = counter.. "/6"
35        wait(1) --// debounce timeout
36        debounce[player] = true
37        print(player.Name.. " is in table")
38    else
39        debounce = false
40        print("player not in table")
41    end
42     end)

But here is the problem:

01if PlayerInTable[player] then
02        print("player table script running")
03        counter = counter + 1
04        Amount.Text = counter.. "/6"
05        wait(1) --// debounce timeout
06        debounce[player] = true
07        print(player.Name.. " is in table")
08    else
09        debounce = false
10        print("player not in table")
11    end
12     end)

but goes right to the else and prints "player not in table" why?

(most people I ask just ignore me and they dont know either soo..)

Is this a LocalScript? And if so, what is the LocalScript's parent? deeskaalstickman649 475 — 4y

Its not a LocalScript Magicalsuperlily914 15 — 4y

game.Players.LocalPlayer is a read-only property that is locally set to the player instance of the client. However, the property is set only on the client side. This is because on the server, there will never be a client, and therefore the LocalPlayer property will always be set to nil on the server. deeskaalstickman649 475 — 4y

I mean that does make sense Magicalsuperlily914 15 — 4y

What should I do instead Magicalsuperlily914 15 — 4y

I suggest using a for i, v in pairs() loop to check if player has been inserted into PlayerInTable. deeskaalstickman649 475 — 4y
