? My table isn't adding values, please help! (SOLVED)
I was making a game, and I made a Number of players chart. I made a script that shows how many players are alive, but didn't a way to tell how many players were alive yet, but that's besides the point. I used the script: ((Local Script))
01 | local players = {} |
02 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
03 | game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) |
04 | table.insert(players,#players+1, plr.Name) |
05 | end) |
06 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr) |
07 | game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) |
08 | table.remove(players, #players) |
09 | end) |
10 | print(#players) |
11 | while wait() do |
12 | script.Parent.Text = "0".."/"..#players-1 |
13 | end |
And it set the the text to "0/-1" and it printed "0" I also tried to fix it myself by adding:
1 | game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) |
2 | --and |
3 | print(#players) |
But as you can see, that didn't work. I don't know how to fix it, please help me.

I found it out I just did
game.Players:GetPlayers
and it worked My Code:
1 | while wait() do |
2 | local players= game.Players:GetPlayers() |
3 | script.Parent.Text = "0".."/"..#players-1 |
4 | end |
It's still in a local script

alternatively, you can write script.Parent.Text = "0".."/"..#game.Players:GetPlayers(). i thought you wanted a list of the player names earlier so that's why i wrote the script like i did above. my bad. glad you got your script working though royaltoe 5144 — 5y

oh okay, also the reason why I keep putting (-1) is because someone is gonna be a killer and it wouldn't make sense to count the killer as a survivor marioman1932 48 — 5y

You should remove the "-1" by #players Line 14
01 | local players = {} |
02 |
03 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
04 | game.Players:WaitForChild(plr) |
05 | table.insert(players, #players+1, plr) |
06 | end) |
07 |
08 | game.Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr) |
09 | table.remove(players, #players-1) |
10 | end) |
11 |
12 | print(#players) |
13 |
14 | while wait() do |
15 | print(#players+1) -- change this line to what you need make sure it has "#players+1" |
16 | end |
This should work

I did print(#players) and it said 0 so if there was 2 players it would say (0/1) marioman1932 48 — 5y
