How Do I get all the Players and Pick A Random One?
Hello, I've been trying to get a random player from the game and then change their team. I'm pretty sure how to do the team change but not picking a random player, the only thing I've really done was something to get every player which was fairly easy but otherwise I'm clueless. If you can help me, thank you!

1 | local players = game.Players:GetChildren() |
2 |
3 | local selected = players[math.random(1,#players)] |

That does not work either. You get the same error. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 6y

You can use GetPlayers(), which returns a table:
1 | local players = game.Players:GetPlayers() |
2 | print(players[math.random(1, #players)]) -- Prints a random player |
The reason why the other two solutions don’t work is because you’re attempting to use a Service (which is Players) as a table. Services are not tables and they should not be used like tables.

01 | local playerNumber = 0 |
02 |
03 | for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
04 | playerNumber = playerNumber + 1 |
05 | end |
06 |
07 | local selected = math.random(1, playerNumber) |
08 |
09 | for i, v in pairs(game.Players.GetChildren()) do |
10 | if i == selected then |
11 | -- Change the team for v (v is the selected player) |
12 | end |
13 | end |
