How to make game wait for enough players?
Currently making a game and I want a script to wait before there are at least 4 players before it begins the round.
01 | round = false |
02 | local hint = Instance.new("Hint") |
03 |
04 | while round == false do |
05 | if script.Parent.val.Value < 5 then |
06 | hint.Parent = game.Workspace |
07 | hint.Text = "Waiting for Players" |
08 | else |
09 | hint.Parent = game.Workspace |
10 | hint.Text = "Game Will Begin Shortly" |
11 | round = true |
12 | end |
13 | end |
val is the name of the value which contains the playercount number, it's working fine, whenever I change the intvalue to a number over 5, the script works and the game begins, however, when I try changing the intvalue during the game, It gets stuck on the "Waiting for Players" part.

To get a reading of how many players are in the game see how many children game.Players has. This can be done as follows,
Ex.
1 | local CurrentPlayers = game.Players:GetChildren() |
2 | local PlayerCount = #CurrentPlayers |
# is used to get a count of how many values are in a table which we created with GetChildren. In this case the table is filled with each player’s instance.
