Fling all players in a server script?
Here's what i've tried so far:
for _,P in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if P.Character then
local t=P.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if t then
t.Parent.Torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(300,5,25)
end
end
end
but this only seems to fling one player. Could somebody possibly modify it to make it fling all the players in the server instead of just one? I am stumped here and I have been working on it for almost 2 weeks!
Thanks for your help!

Hey JSAcela,
There isn't any immediately noticeable problem with your code, but I have noted that you do not check to make sure that the Torso of the current player actually exists. If the current player does not have a Torso, your code will immediately break. Try something like this:
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Character then
local torso = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso");
if (torso) then
torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(300,5,25);
end;
end;
end;
I did notice how you didn't do a very good job indenting and using descriptive variable names. I highly recommend reading this very informative and useful blog post by NoahWillCode:

Have a nice day, JSAcela, and best of luck with your project!

Edit:
Here is a new bit of code that will fling a random player:
-- Returns a list of characters with a torso.
local function GetCharacters()
local characters = {};
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local isValidCharacter = (
player.Character and
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso")
);
if (isValidCharacter) then
table.insert(characters, player.Character);
end;
end;
return characters;
end;
local function FlingRandomPlayer()
local characters = GetCharacters();
local victim = characters[math.random(1, #characters)];
if (victim) then
victim.Torso.Velocity = Vector3.new(300,5,25);
end;
end;
-- ...
-- Fling a random player.
FlingRandomPlayer();
