Basically what I'm trying to do is that if players are on a team, I want them to have their own individual stringvalue. These values are in ServerStorage.

01for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
02        local hometeam = game.Teams.Home
03        local awayteam = game.Teams.Away
04        local homeplayers1 = hometeam:GetPlayers()
05        local awayplayers1 = awayteam:GetPlayers()
06        if v.Team == hometeam then
07            local C1 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
08            local C2 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
09            local C3 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
10            local C4 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
11            local P1 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player1")
12            local P2 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player2")          
13            local P3 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player3")
14            local P4 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player4")
15            if #homeplayers1 > 0 then
16            repeat C2 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C2 ~= C1
17            and C2 ~= C3 and C2 ~= C4 wait()
18                if #homeplayers1 == 3 then     
19                repeat C3 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C3 ~= C1
20                and C3 ~= C2 and C3 ~= C4 wait()
21                    if #homeplayers1 == 4 then
22                    repeat C4 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C4 ~= C1
23                    and C4 ~= C3 and C4 ~= C2 wait()
24                    end
25                end
26            end
27            P1.Value = C1.Name
28            P2.Value = C2.Name
29            P3.Value = C3.Name
30            P4.Value = C4.Name
31        elseif v.Team == awayteam then
32            local C1 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
33            local C2 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
34            local C3 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
35            local C4 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
36            local P1 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player1")
37            local P2 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player2")          
38            local P3 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player3")
39            local P4 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player4")
40            if #awayplayers1 > 0 then
41                repeat C2 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C2 ~= C1
42                and C2 ~= C3 and C2 ~= C4 wait()
43                if #awayplayers1 == 3 then      
44                repeat C3 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C3 ~= C1
45                and C3 ~= C2 and C3 ~= C4 wait()
46                    if #awayplayers1 == 4 then
47                    repeat C4 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C4 ~= C1
48                    and C4 ~= C3 and C4 ~= C2 wait()
49                    end
50                end
51            end
52            P1.Value = C1.Name
53            P2.Value = C2.Name
54            P3.Value = C3.Name
55            P4.Value = C4.Name
56        end

[Apparently this script is passed, I haven't gotten any errors, but it doesn't work.]

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Team then game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage.StringValue:Clone().Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer end

*StringValue:Clone().Parent = DoYouKnowHowToRead -13 — 7y

this wouldn't work since I'm trying to accomplish something else after LukeGabrieI 73 — 7y

I'm also using filtering Enabled lol, so anything locally won't be cloned LukeGabrieI 73 — 7y
