How can I get a player name from a list ?
I have a problem, I would like to get the play name from a list and put it in a variable (string).
local gameresults = "oneplayeralive"
if #activecontestants == 1 then
partforwinner.CanCollide = true
for _, player in pairs(activecontestants) do
if player then
local playername = player:GetFullName()
event:FireAllClients(gameresults, playername)
end
end
else
gameresults = "nowinner"
end
And to put it in a gui :
event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(...)
local tuple = ...
if tuple == "oneplayeralive" then
resultsannonce.Text = "The winner is"
winnerannonce.Text = tuple[2]
else
resultsannonce.Text = "No winner"
winnerannonce.Visible = false
end
But, when I test, it's send me an error because "tuple[2]" is not a string.
If someone could help me, it's could be great, thanks you.
(sorry for the bad english, i'm french)

The reason your program errored was because you did not put brackets { } around the TWO arguments you had for your tuple in the FireAllClients method. While I simplified your code to not have that be necessary, it's important to recognize that FireAllClients only takes one argument, so put all your parameters in a table. The code below works the same way your old code did functionality wise; I assume that the if-statement is inside some sort of function or other callable system on your server.
You had a second problem where if there was no winner, the clients wouldn't have been informed. I made it FireAllClients regardless of the result.
Server Code
local player = nil
if #activecontestants == 1 then
partforwinner.CanCollide = true
player = activecontestants[1]
end
event:FireAllClients(player)
Client Code
event.OnClientEvent:connect(function(...)
local tuple = ...
if tuple then
resultsannonce.Text = "The winner is"
winnerannonce.Text = tuple.Name
else
resultsannonce.Text = "No winner"
winnerannonce.Visible = false
end
end)
