How to get players from server side script?
Hi, newbie question. I have this sample of code that I got from the developer website.
Players = game:GetService("Players")
for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
print(player.Name)
end
This code works when I paste it in a local script but it doesn't when I paste it in a server side script. I don't get an error, but nothing gets printed. I am wondering why this is, and also what code do I need to use to get all players from a server side script. Thanks

wait(#game.Players:GetChildren() > 0)
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
print(v.Name)
end

thanks for suggestion. I have tried this and also wait(2) just to see if it was that players weren't added yet, but it still doesn't work VelocyCharlie 18 — 4y

this should work
@pastel_joga's answer was good, but
wait(#game.Players:GetChildren() > 0) will cause the game to halt b/c ur passing a boolean to wait() which expects a number
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
print(v.Name)
end

So far, the only thing that has worked is to call this code inside a PlayerAdded event. Didn't know this was the only option?
