why is this broken?
Please make your question title relevant to your question content. It should be a one-sentence summary in question form.
I have a string value that was inserted into the workspace called "Players". When a player is added into the game it create another string value having the parent be "Players" However it keeps giving this output and will not work. 17:31:19.224 - Workspace.PLR:9: attempt to call field 'Players' (a userdata value).
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
wait(.5)
local k = Instance.new("StringValue",game.Workspace.Players)
k.Name = plr.Name
k.Value = plr.Name
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr2)
if game.Workspace.Players:FindFirstChild(plr2.Name) then
game.Workspace.Players(plr2.Name):remove()
end
end)

On line 9, use FindFirstChild or square brackets. Ex, game.Workspace.Players:FindFirstChild(plr2.Name):Destroy() User#11440 120 — 7y

Square brackets = [ ] StoIid 364 — 7y

Ex, game.Workspace.Players:FindFirstChild(plr2.Name):Destroy() or game.Workspace.Players[plr2.Name]:Destroy(). I'll be using FindFirstChild.
Your code should look somewhat like this,
-- regular script
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
wait(.5)
local k = Instance.new("StringValue",game.Workspace.Players)
k.Name = plr.Name
k.Value = plr.Name
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(plr2)
if game.Workspace.Players:FindFirstChild(plr2.Name) then
game.Workspace.Players:FindFirstChild(plr2.Name):Destroy()
end
end)
I also changed remove() to Destroy() because remove() is deprecated.
Good Luck
