Confusion as to why script doesn't work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! I was wondering why this script of mine isn’t working. As you can see, the game should wait 5 seconds before kicking every player. Then, the kicked players are provided the message “lol.” I am running this as a regular script in the workspace. I’ve tried moving some stuff around, running it as some stuff. I’m a bit stuck.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
while true do
    Players:Kick("lol")
    end

Players doesn’t have a Kick method, only the players inside of the Players service do

You’re trying to kick the players service, you need to get all the players via GetPlayers, loop through and kick those players

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

while true do
	wait(5)
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		player:Kick("lol")
	end	
end

Also you had no wait

It’s an iterator function that can go through tables and dictionaries. For this case, GetPlayers returns a table of the players in game, pairs goes through the table and returns 2 things, the index of the current iteration and the value stored at that index, basically it’s just another type of loop
