How to trigger a function if the player count is too low?
It was underlined in red when I wrote this:
1 | if Players == <5 then |
2 | print ("not enough players!") |
3 | end |
the '<' symbol is underlined in red? how do I fix this?

Essentially you want to run an if statement checking if the player count is lower than 5. You can do this by checking every time a player joins.
01 | local val = 5 -- player limit |
02 |
03 | function check() |
04 | if #game.Players:GetChildren() < val then -- # is essentially converting a value in to number. |
05 | return true |
06 | else |
07 | return false |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() |
12 | local val1 = check() -- getting returned value |
13 | if val1 == true then -- if there are less than 5 players |
14 | -- execute function |
15 | print("Less than 5 players are in") |
16 | else |
17 | print("More than 5 players are in!") |
18 | end |
19 | end) |

Yay, it's solved. Here's the solution. I made a value in the 'Players' tab, it adds 1 whenever 1 player joins.
1 | local Players = game.Players |
2 | local PlayerNumber = game.Players.PlayerNumber |
3 | Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() |
4 | PlayerNumber.Value = PlayerNumber.Value + 1 |
5 | end) |
This one is the if and then statement, I tried it without the '==' this time.
01 | local map1 = game.workspace.Map1 |
02 | local map2 = game.workspace.Map2 |
03 | local map3 = game.workspace.Map3 |
04 | local Players = game.Players |
05 | local PlayerNumber = game.Players.PlayerNumber |
06 | local playercountdeny = 'not enough players' |
07 | if PlayerNumber.Value < 8 then |
08 | print (playercountdeny) |
09 |
10 | end |

This will glitch. Did you add a minus 1 function for a person leaving the game? Xapelize 2658 — 4y
