How do i use i, v in pairs with a playerlist?
I simply just want to print the names of the players in the server, though my script doesn't work (it doesnt show any errors though), it is a ServerScript placed in workspace
local getPlayers = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for i, v in pairs(getPlayers) do
print(i.." = "..v.Name)
end

This script runs before you as a player even joins the server, so thats why it doesn't print anything Borrahh 265 — 2y

this will ensure the script runs if theres a player
local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
repeat
task.wait()
Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()
until Players[1]
for i,v in pairs(Players) do
print(i,v)
end

The in pairs loop probably executed before a single player even connected, so all we have to do is put a wait(). Something like this.
wait(1)
local getPlayers = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for i, v in pairs(getPlayers) do
print(i.." = "..v.Name)
end

No, It's because when you made the variable for "getPlayers", there where no players in the game, so the table is empty. You can try like this: game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() --loop through players end) msculenny 42 — 2y
