Hi! Basically, I want a function which constantly is updating a value (more specifically, I have a value called CurrentPlayers, and I want it to be the same as the number of players in the server. Here is what I have right now:
function currentPlayers()
while true do
wait()
System.CurrentPlayers.Value = #game.Players:GetChildren()
end
end
delay(0,currentPlayers)
My question is: does this cause lag, and if so, is there a lag free alternative to achieve the same thing?
Use NumPlayers instead of #game.Players:GetChildren(). Also, use the changed event. This event fires when a certain value changes.
NumPlayers is in game.Players.
print(game.Players.NumPlayers)
Changed event works for pretty much any value. In the parameter it also tells you what has changed.
workspace.Player1.Humanoid.Changed:connect(function(jump)
if jump == "Jump" then
print("Player1 has jumped.")
end
end)
You can use this same script and edit it to make an antijump script.
workspace.Player1.Humanoid.Changed:connect(function(jump)
if jump == "Jump" then
workspace.Player1.Humanoid.Jump = false
end
end)
But what are the chances a player named player1 exists? Use the player and character added events.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
player.CharacterAdded:connect(function(character)
character.Humanoid.Changed:connect(function(jump)
if jump == "Jump" then
workspace.Player1.Humanoid.Jump = false
end
end
end)
end)
Now we add it together to see how many players are in the game.
game.Players.Changed:connect(function(numplayers)
if numplayers == "NumPlayers" then
System.CurrentPlayers.Value = game.Players.NumPlayers
end
end)
Hope it helps!
Actually, weird problem is happening. Here is the code:game.Players.Changed:connect(function (NumPlayers) System.CurrentPlayers.Value = game.Players.NumPlayers end)
You can use spawn( function
end)

What will help is use a corouine before the while true do
"The weird problem" is that System is a variable. Please at the top of the script add, "local System =" blah blah blah.
