I want to know how to gather every player in a server except for the local player and make those gathered players do something.
For example, say I want to fire a remote that sends everyone except the local player to a room.
The local player has a button that fires this remote event that sends everyone besides the local player to that specified room.
I heard about using 'game.Players:GetPlayers()' but I do not know where to go after that.
You can use :GetPlayers() in a for loop to get all of the players. After that you can check if the players name doesn't equal the LocalPlayers name.
Edit: My bad I didn't read your post correctly, now that I saw it I have two scripts for you. The localscript that fires the remote once the button is clicked and the noemal script that handles the remote.
LocalScript:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteName = "RemoteEvent"
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(RemoteName):FireServer()
end)
Normal Script:
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteName = "RemoteEvent"
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild(RemoteName).OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if v.Name ~= player.Name then
-- your code
end
end
end)
This will work in a script.
local chosenPlayerName = ""--Person who will not be affected by this
for i,player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
if player.Name ~= chosenPlayerName then
--Do whatever you want with the other players
end
end

Oh, I assumed he wanted it in a Script, and not a LocalScript.
@firestarroblox123 Oh.
I like this solution more then my solution tbh.
