My for _, player w'ont try to find a randomplayer ?
01 | while wait() do |
02 | for i = 5,0,-1 do |
03 | --Lobby Timer |
04 | wait(sec) |
05 | print(i.." / Before") |
06 | end |
07 | for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do |
08 | --Player Monster |
09 | local randomplayer = player[math.random(1, #player)] |
10 | end |
11 | end |
The output say that player is a userdata value and i d'ont know how to fix this

well, the reason might be that player, is well... a player object and not a table so you might want to try something on the lines of this
1 | math.randomseed(tick()) |
2 | while true do |
3 | local plrs = game.Players:GetPlayers() |
4 | local rIndex = math.random(1,#plrs) |
5 | local randomplr = plrs[rIndex] |
6 | wait() |
7 | end |
So things to take away:
1 | 1) don't use while wait() do end, use while true do wait() end |
2 | 2) use math.randomseed(tick()) for "better randomness" |

If you're trying to select a random player, that's not the way to do it.
Try this:
1 | while wait() do |
2 | for i = 5,0,-1 do |
3 | --Lobby Timer |
4 | wait(sec) |
5 | print(i.." / Before") |
6 | end |
7 | local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() |
8 | local randomplayer = players[math.random(1, #players)] |
9 | end |

a for loop literates through a table, and the variable is the object, not a table which you'd use a # operator to get a length. this means you dont need to use a for loop to get a random player, but just use game.Players:GetPlayers(), math.random and the # operator alone.
01 | while true do |
02 | for i = 5,0,-1 do |
03 | --Lobby Timer |
04 | wait(sec) |
05 | print(i.." / Before") |
06 | end |
07 | local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() |
08 | local chosenPlayer = players[math.random(1,#players)] |
09 |
10 | print(chosenPlayer.Name) -- example |
11 | -- do stuff here |
12 |
13 | -- you dont need a wait as theres a for loop which yields |
14 | end |
