How to trigger a function if the player count is too low?

#Code
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.
local val = 5 -- player limit
function check()
if #game.Players:GetChildren() < val then -- # is essentially converting a value in to number.
return true
else
return false
end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local val1 = check() -- getting returned value
if val1 == true then -- if there are less than 5 players
-- execute function
print("Less than 5 players are in")
else
print("More than 5 players are in!")
end
end)
Yay, it's solved. Here's the solution. I made a value in the 'Players' tab, it adds 1 whenever 1 player joins.
local Players = game.Players
local PlayerNumber = game.Players.PlayerNumber
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
PlayerNumber.Value = PlayerNumber.Value + 1
end)
This one is the if and then statement, I tried it without the '==' this time.
local map1 = game.workspace.Map1
local map2 = game.workspace.Map2
local map3 = game.workspace.Map3
local Players = game.Players
local PlayerNumber = game.Players.PlayerNumber
local playercountdeny = 'not enough players'
if PlayerNumber.Value < 8 then
print (playercountdeny)
end

This will glitch. Did you add a minus 1 function for a person leaving the game?
