while true do
Status.Value = "Waiting for enough players"
game.Players:GetPlayers()
repeat wait(1) until Players >= 2
Status.Value = "Intermission"
I know this is very wrong but this is deprecated
repeat wait() until game.Players.NumPlayers >= 2
In adaptation to yHasteeD's recommendation of: "you can simple use: repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 2"
Since that'd just run once and not account for a potential player drop (players leaving)
You could do:
local players = game.Players
function playerAdded()
local plramount = #players:GetPlayers()
if plramount>=2 then
game()
end
end
players.PlayerAdded:connect(playerAdded)
function game()
-- game stuff here, make all functions in game end if #players:GetPlayers() < 2
end
The function you're looking for is a function of Players called GetPlayers
https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/function/Players/GetPlayers
repeat wait() until game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 2
Functions return values. The sentinel value of GetPlayers is the amount of players that are in the game. With that data, we can compare it.
#, your script will error
GetPlayers() returns a table of player instances, the number of players would be equal to the length of this table so the length operator '#' should be prepended to this table
My bad. Don't know why I thought GetPlayers returned an integer. Exactly what Gold said.
Edit your answer to repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 2
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PlayerCount = 0
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
PlayerCount = PlayerCount + 1
end)
game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
PlayerCount = PlayerCount - 1
end)
while PlayerCount < 1 do
repeat wait(1) until PlayerCount >= 2
end
You can simple use repeat wait(1) until #Players:GetPlayers() >= 2
There are many ways of doing this but I just went with my method. Accept if this helped :)
local players = {}
function get_players()
players = {}
for _, a in pairs(game:service'Players':players'') do --// gets all players
table.insert(players, a) --// inserts all player to the table
end
return #players --// returns the count of players
end
repeat wait() until get_players() >= 2
you can simple use: repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 2
