player is a nill value?

Asked 270 views1 answers

i have a script that will find players on a team's names but i have a error

here is my code:

for i,v in pairs(game.Teams["Players"]:GetPlayers())do
	wait(2)
	local plr = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v)
	h.Text = ("The Winners are:"..plr.Name)
end

h is defined and working but whenever i run the code it says:

16:13:55.178 - Workspace.Scripts.Game Flow:69: attempt to index local 'plr' (a nil value)

i check the teams and my player is on the Players team but it still says the error

please help

Problem

The reason this player is nil in this case is that the GetPlayers function already gets all the players, which are player object, so there really isn't a need to use the GetPlayerFromCharacter function, since the objects inside the GetPlayers table are players, not characters.

Solution

for _,plr in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	...
end

GetPlayers function

GetPlayerFromCharacter function
