So im trying to figure out how to get the player with a server script my game is a solo game so i feel like looping through all the players constantly would be useless is there a better way?
my attempt
local plr = game.Players:WaitForChild("Player")
print(plr.Name)
this waits forever until it yields ;'/
Try this. I haven’t tested it yet.
Good luck.
Players = game:GetService("Players")
for i, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
print(player.Name)
end
To get a player you do:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) —gets player
—code
end)
That could work if it is a solo game. If you want it to print all players at the same time you would need to use a different script.
In addition, it only prints when a player joins.
If you know the name of the player you're going to be looking for just do
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "NameOfWhoYouWant" then
--Code you want to use
break --So it stops since you already found who you want
end
end
Good job, but I don’t recommend adding code 2.

local player = game.Players:GetPlayers()[1] or game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()
