game.Players.PlayerAdded not working for the Player that joined the game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi,

I’m currently making a system that detects if a friend has joined the game. I used game.Players.PlayerAdded as a way to detect it, but it only detects for the person already in the server, not for the one that joined the server. The script is in ServerScriptService, and I recall that game.Players.PlayerAdded function could work for the Player that was added to the game. Could someone help?

can you show the part of the script that handles this?

If you want it to also affect the player who just joined, I would suggest you duplicate the line starting with plr:FindFirstChild("PlayerBoosts"), and replace plr with player in the duplicate.

(Maybe use WaitForChild instead of FindFirstChild though)

i.e.

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	for _, plr in game.Players:GetPlayers() do
		plr.PlayerBoosts.FriendBoost.Value += 0.1
		player:WaitForChild("PlayerBoosts").FriendBoost.Value += 0.1
	end
end
