Unable to find player in workspace?
I have a script that should get all the players on the team "Playing" and have a 50% of doing an action, but for some reason my server script cannot find the player in the workspace, when I ask it to print the player, it prints "jediplocoon" which is the name of the only player in the game (me), but when I try and find my name in the workspace it turns up as nil. I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction, and hopefully explain why this script doesn't work, so I don't make this mistake again. Here's my script:
1 | local plrs = game.Teams.Playing:GetPlayers() |
2 | for i = 1, #plrs do |
3 | print(plrs[i]) |
4 | local num = math.random(1, 2) |
5 | if num == 1 then |
6 | local player = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plrs[i]) |
7 | print(player) |
8 | end |
9 | end |

You can also go through the player itself plrs[i].Character though you should be checking that the player has a character User#5423 17 — 5y
