How do I get the name of each player when concatting a table?
Localscript:
wait(1)
local frame = script.Parent.Parent
local disastertext = frame.disaster
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local disaster = ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.returnPlayer
disaster.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(s)
disastertext.Text = table.concat(s, ',')
print(s)
frame.Visible = true
wait(5)
frame.Visible = false
end)
Script that grabs each player and puts them in an array:
function getPlayers()
for _,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
table.insert(Array,v);
print(Array)
end
end
I need to be able to get each players name and concat the table. Do I need to create another array that only contains the name of the player or do i need to completely rewrite how I am putting the players into the array?

I believe there may be a better option to this, and I am not fully sure if this is what you mean, but this is what I got:
You are wanting to store the Player object and the Player name in 1 table, you can do this by changing this to be something like this:
function getPlayers()
for _,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local PlayerInfo = {}
PlayerInfo.Player = v
PlayerInfo.Name = v.Name
table.insert(Array,PlayerInfo);
print(Array)
end
end
What will this do? It will create a table called PlayerInfo and store that into Array for every player, [So a table inside a table.] PlayerInfo will have two values stored in it, The Player which will be = to the player object and Name which would be = to the Name off the player.
When you print array you should receive something like: {} This is the table Array, press on it to open it up. when you click on that you will get This table is the PlayerInfo Table. 1 = {} There will be one of those for each player, each player having its own index number. So it for 3 players it will be:
1 = {}
2 = {}
3 = {}
When you open up those lists for the PlayerInfo, you will get something like:
["Player"] = Object off player
["Name"] = Player Name
