What is the difference between these to get the players?
What is the difference between
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded |
2 | game.Players.LocalPlayer |
3 | game:GetService("Players") |
4 | game.Players:GetPlayers() |
Is there any other way to get players? What can i use each for?

PlayerAdded is an event that fires when a player joins the game. game.Players.LocalPlayer is a quick way of getting the player that the script is running on. It can only be used inside of a LocalScript that is inside of a player. game:GetService("Players") is just a way of accessing the Players service. :GetPlayers() returns a table containing all of the players currently connected to the server.

Game.Players.PlayerAdded is an event that fires when a new player joins the game.
Game.Players.LocalPlayer only works in a local script, and it returns the local client.
game:GetService("Players") returns the player service, which is the same thing as doing game.Players.
game.Players:GetPlayers() returns an array of all players currently in the game.
