Can you check if a player that has joined is the first player to join that game?

What I mean is that, if a user joins a server and they are the only one in that server how would I get that to ignore a script but then anybody that joins after that player will get the script ran (like, I join the server and I’m the first to join that server so it doesn’t run but if I was to join after somebody else did then it would run the script)

#2

You could have a value that’s set to false and change it to true when the first player joins. After doing that you just check the value before running the script

#3

That won’t really work as if 2 people join at basically the same time then the script will be too slow to set the value and then detect that

#4

Fair, but that seems like the easiest way and the chances of 2 people joining at the same time are quite low

#5

I mean does that happen with popular games or not

#6

Well even if they do you can just get the player at the top of the list instead so that there isn’t a huge mix-up

#7

Something like this would work I believe:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
local number = game.Players:GetChildren()
if #number ~= 1 then
--Enter your Code here
end)

I started a test server and assuming that both windows join at the same time, it should work

Yeah that works, thanks for the help!

I thought you wanted the player that joins first

#11

I said that I wanted a script to run for everyone else but the first player that joins which is basically what that does

Yeah. Anyways sorry I couldn’t be of any help (I totally didn’t misread the code btw)
