so i have a function with returns a string for a message to be put out when the game ends but i just dont know how to get the username of the player. (thing with elseif gamemode==2 then)

function (the lines i wanna focus on are 22-28)

function getWinningTeamString()
    local red = 0
    local blue = 0

    local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
    local a = 0

if gamemode == 1 then
    for i=1,#players do
        if (players[i].TeamColor == game.Teams:FindFirstChild("BLUE TEAM").TeamColor) then
            if (players[i]:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and players[i].leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills")) then
                blue = blue + players[i].leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills").Value
            end
        end

        if (players[i].TeamColor == game.Teams:FindFirstChild("RED TEAM").TeamColor) then
            if (players[i]:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and players[i].leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills")) then
                red = red + players[i].leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills").Value
            end
        end
    end
    elseif gamemode==2 then
    for i=1,#players do
        if (players[i]:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and players[i].leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills")) then

        end
    end
end


    if gamemode==1 and (red == blue) then return "Stalemate! (Nobody won...)" end
    if gamemode==1 and (red > blue) then return string.format("Red defeated the opposition by %d points!", red - blue) end
    if gamemode==1 and (red < blue) then return string.format("Blue defeated the opposition by %d points!", blue - red) end

    if gamemode==2 then
            return "The winner is "..value1(username).." with "..value2(kills).." kills!"
    end 

    end

where this function is used is here (line 14):

while true do
    players = game:GetService("Players"):GetChildren()
    repeat wait(1) do end until #players>=2
        gamemode = 2--math.random(1,2)
    if gamemode==1 then
        gamestart(mapstorage.TDM:GetChildren())
    elseif gamemode==2 then
        gamestart(mapstorage.FFA:GetChildren())
    end
    wait(game_length-30)
        messageEvent:FireAllClients("30 seconds left until the end of this round!",5)
        script["30seconds"]:Play()
    wait(30)
        messageEvent:FireAllClients(getWinningTeamString(),30) -- right here btw 
-- i cut off the rest since theres no point in displaying it

What you need to do is index the player in your for loop, and then index its properties.

local Players = game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()

for i = 1, #Players do 
    local plr = Players[i]
    local leaderstats = plr:FindFirstChild("leaderstats")
    if leaderstats then 
        local kills = leaderstats:FindFirstChild("Kills")
    end
end

All you will need to do to index the player's name is plr.Name.
