Issues with checking the number of players ingame?
So I'm quite new to scripting so I'm not sure if you can use .NumPlayers to check the value of how many people are ingame. I need it so that it checks if there are more than 2 players ingame then if there is it will continue, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
local Hint = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
if game.Players.NumPlayers >=2 then
for Time = 15,1, -1 do
wait(1)
Hint.Text = Time
end
end

You are using the right method, NumPlayers. Even when you are new to scripting your code is actually okay! The problem is that you're trying to check if there are less than or equal to 2 players. So you need to have less than 3 to activate the script.
game:GetService("Players").NumPlayers <= 2 bad, 2 <= game:GetService("Players").NumPlayers good.
--How I would write this script
local playersneeded = 2 --How many players needed.
if playersneeded <= game:GetService("Players").NumPlayers then
local hint = Instance.new("Hint", workspace)
for Time = 15,1,-1 do
wait(1)
hint.Text = Time
end
end
Hope it helps!
