Game count not working?

Asked May 3, 2014206 views2 answers

I'm trying to make something so if too many people get on it shuts down the server, to test it I put it for 2 people.

local amount = 0

game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
	amount = amount + 1
	print(amount)
end)

game.Players.PlayerRemoving:connect(function(player2)
	amount = amount - 1
	print(amount)
end)

while true do
	if amount == 2 then
		Instance.new("Message",Workspace).Text = "Too many people... Shutting down server"
		wait(2)
		for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
			v:Remove()
		end
	end
end

Why not use NumPlayers? Also, you need to change your Instance.new statement.

local TooManyPlayers = 2
while true do
    if game.Players.NumPlayers == TooManyPlayers then
        local Message = Instance.new("Message",Workspace)
	Message.Text = "Too many people... Shutting down server"
        wait(2)
        for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
            v:Kick() --Kick them instead!
        end
    end
end

Just change the max players. If yo want only 6 people then change max players to 6.
