Im trying to make this script print the names of all players in the game please help!

print(i)---player priority
print(v)---players name
end

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs(game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()) do
print(v.Name)
end
end)
when someone joins the game you make a loop through all the players and print their names

I think putting Player Removed would also matter. Cyroxite 46 — 4y

@Gameplayer365247v2 it actually does. The person asking the question is probably using this code to get an up-to-date list on the players. So adding a function for a player removed event DOES matter. Cyroxite 46 — 4y

Instead of using an in pairs loop, I would print them in a table so it's easier to read. Here
local playerService= game:GetService("Players")
local playerTable= { }
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
table.insert(playerTable[player.Name])
end
game.Players.PlayerRemoved:Connect(function(player)
table.remove(playerTable[player.Name])
end
while wait(15) do
print("playerTable")
end

Your Script is also giving me the Player is not a member of datamodel ffancyaxax12 181 — 4y

completely unnessesary, you dont need to insert any names into a table, just need to loop through the player list Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 4y

I was thinking about ram usage, so using tables would reduce how much ram would be used. Ram usage is actually kinda important when you're making actual games to improve user experience, but whatever. Cyroxite 46 — 4y
