I want this script to determine how many players are in my game. I want it to update a value, and then I want that value to print so I know the script is working. Output didn't give me anything.
Can someone please help? Here's the script:
local player_count = 0
while wait() do
local Players = {}
for _,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
table.insert(Players,v)
player_count = player_count + 1
end
end
print(player_count)
There is something called NumPlayers.
print(game.Players.NumPlayer) --That's it. game.Players.NumPlayer.
There is another method that is not as effective.
print(#game.Players:GetChildren()) --# returns the number of things in a table, in this case: the number of children in players.
Hope it helps! (There really is no scripting needed.)
How to see how many players are on a team
local team1 = 0
local team2 = 0
local otherteam = 0
local team1color = BrickColor.new("Bright red")
local team2color = BrickColor.new("Bright blue")
--Maybe a loop?
for _,player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if player.ClassName == "Player" then
if player.TeamColor = team1color then
team1 = team1+1
elseif player.TeamColor = team2color then
team2 = team2+1
else
otherteam = otherteam+1
end
end
end
print("There are "..team1.." players in the red team and "..team2.." players in blue and there are "..otherteam.." left.")
So for a value, I could say "local player_count = game.Players.NumPlayer"?
Yes -- but isn't the property called 'NumPlayers' (plural)? I'm too lazy to check. Just look at the property before coding.

Yes: local player_count = game.Players.NumPlayer. You cannot change the value of game.Players.NumPlayer though. NumValue is an int value.
How could I get the script to determine how many people are on a certain team?
BTW, it's NumPlayers with an s at the end.
