I've encounter a problem where this simple player counter prints 0 instead of 1 when there is one person that is currently in the game.
local players = game.Players
local playercount = #(players:GetPlayers())
print (playercount)
Am I doing something wrong in this script?
Any help is greatly appreciated
You should make a function for this so it's much clean if you know what I mean.
function get_players()
local count = 0
for _, a in pairs(game:service'Players':players()) do --// gets all the players
count = count + 1 --// adds 1 to the count if a player was found
end
return count --// returns the number of players
end
You can then do
local amount_of_players = get_players() --// now amount_of_players will be the amount of players in your server
print(amount_of_players)
Accept if this helped, thanks.
you forgot parentheses for get_players and i think you forgot the 'Get's before service and players also capitalization. you dont need a for loop #game.Players:GetPlayers() will do in just 1 line. im not trying to pick on you just helping OP correct some mistakes in there
:players() works too?

did u test it in Play Solo? maybe the script ran before the player was actually added
Use PlayerAdded and a for loop to continuously run through players then “print” or whatever function you want, the value of the return
