Hey! So im working on a game, and i want to grab the amount of players in a game in that specific universe, and make it show up on the text label. Here is an example of a picture.

here is the script. I would be grateful if anyone can help me modify this script to work:

 function players_online(place_id)
local web = game.HttpService:GetAsync("https://www.rprxy.xyz/games/"..place_id)
local player_text = string.find(web,"Playing") -- find the online players section
local new = string.sub(web,player_text)

local number_start = string.find(new,">") -- find where the number starts
new = string.sub(new,number_start)

local number_end = string.find(new,"<") -- find where the number ends
new = string.sub(new,2,number_end-1)

local players_online = string.gsub(new,",","") -- in case it's over 1000 players
return tonumber(players_online)

end

while wait(0.01) do
local web = game.HttpService:GetAsync(“https://www.rprxy.xyz/games/”…place_id)
local player_text = string.find(web,“Playing”) – find the online players section
local new = string.sub(web,player_text)

local number_start = string.find(new,">") -- find where the number starts
new = string.sub(new,number_start)

local number_end = string.find(new,"<") -- find where the number ends
new = string.sub(new,2,number_end-1)

local players_online = string.gsub(new,",","") -- in case it's over 1000 players
return tonumber(players_online)
script.parent.text = "Players : "..new

end

Did you script this? The only reason I asking is it seems like you just copied it.

#3

Unfortunately I didn’t, but I’m currently looking for a solution to modify this. “I would be grateful if anyone can help me modify this script to work”

#4

One way to make a guis text say the amount of players in a game is:

while wait() do
local amount = game.Players:GetPlayers()
script.Parent.Text = #amount
end
#5

I suggest instead of just copying someones work you learn how to script yourself.

#6

I appreciate the help, but I am trying to get the players from another game to show up on the text.

#7

I am a little bit experienced in scripting, but this is a hard topic, and I haven’t seen anyone really cover it.

#8

Are you receiving any errors from the script?

#9

Yes, but just one im pretty sure.

Sorry if its a bit blurry. I tried cropping only that output statement out

#11

You are missing an end to close the do block.

#12

Okay. How do you think I can make this script successful in grabbing the amount of players from another game to show up on the gui in the same universe?

#13

You should ask the person who created the script to help you as it is their script.

return tonumber(players_online)
script.parent.text = "Players : "..new

end

i already have an “end”

#15

You can not have anything else after the return statement.

Why are you doing GetAsync every 0.03 seconds (wait has a minimum of 0.03 seconds)? Also, why are you doing it on the client?

#16

Can you reword this? I’m sorry, as to i’m not that experienced in roblox scripting.

#17

I’m not sure if this would help, but I’d recommend you look take a look at this. Review your in-game stats with the GameStatsAPI!

while true do
	print(players_online(000000))
	wait(6)
end

those weird " things are so annoying
