Setting Players' Name Inside a Value while Players are in a Specific Team?

Asked 338 views3 answers

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.

for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
		local hometeam = game.Teams.Home
		local awayteam = game.Teams.Away
		local homeplayers1 = hometeam:GetPlayers()
		local awayplayers1 = awayteam:GetPlayers()
		if v.Team == hometeam then
			local C1 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
			local C2 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
			local C3 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
			local C4 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)]
			local P1 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player1")
			local P2 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player2")			
			local P3 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player3")
			local P4 = HomePlayers:WaitForChild("Player4")
			if #homeplayers1 > 0 then
			repeat C2 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C2 ~= C1 
			and C2 ~= C3 and C2 ~= C4 wait()
				if #homeplayers1 == 3 then		
				repeat C3 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C3 ~= C1 
				and C3 ~= C2 and C3 ~= C4 wait()
					if #homeplayers1 == 4 then
					repeat C4 = homeplayers1[math.random(1, #homeplayers1)] until C4 ~= C1 
					and C4 ~= C3 and C4 ~= C2 wait()
					end
				end
			end
			P1.Value = C1.Name
			P2.Value = C2.Name
			P3.Value = C3.Name
			P4.Value = C4.Name
		elseif v.Team == awayteam then
			local C1 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
			local C2 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
			local C3 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
			local C4 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)]
			local P1 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player1")
			local P2 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player2")			
			local P3 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player3")
			local P4 = AwayPlayers:WaitForChild("Player4")
			if #awayplayers1 > 0 then
				repeat C2 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C2 ~= C1 
				and C2 ~= C3 and C2 ~= C4 wait()
				if #awayplayers1 == 3 then		 
				repeat C3 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C3 ~= C1 
				and C3 ~= C2 and C3 ~= C4 wait()
					if #awayplayers1 == 4 then
					repeat C4 = awayplayers1[math.random(1, #awayplayers1)] until C4 ~= C1 
					and C4 ~= C3 and C4 ~= C2 wait()
					end
				end
			end
			P1.Value = C1.Name
			P2.Value = C2.Name
			P3.Value = C3.Name
			P4.Value = C4.Name
		end
	end

Thanks,

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

I'm also using filtering Enabled lol, so anything locally won't be cloned

	sv.Name = "PlayerName"
	sv.Parent = p
