Help for a player counter

[wennent]

Hello everyone, today we would like to have your help on Roblox Studio in scripting. We want a player counter on a game owned by us. We tried this script but it doesn’t work. Can you help us please ?

What’s that AssetID for? Seems like you should be using a LocalScript to count the number of players. Something like this:

local playersServ = game:GetService("Players")
local textlabel =  --the label you want to display the number of players in
playersServ.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
	textlabel.Text = "Player count: "..#playersServ:GetPlayers()
end)

playersServ.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function()
	textlabel.Text = "Player count: "..#playersServ:GetPlayers()
end)

textlabel.Text = "Player count:"..#playersServ:GetPlayers()

Hi, you misunderstood… We want the player count of a game other than the server.

How do I get the amount of players playing my game?

The following API endpoint when given a place ID will provide a list of information regarding that place’s active servers. https://games.roblox.com/docs#!/GameInstances/get_v1_games_placeId_servers_serverType This can be used to determine the total number of players currently playing a game. local http = game:GetService("HttpService") local get = http.GetAsync local jsonDecode = http.JSONDecode local proxyUrl = "roproxy.com" --Put your domain's proxy here. local baseUrl = "https://games."..p…

Not sure how to solve this, but you could check the above link out! I’ll keep digging…

Je ne sais pas comment résoudre ce problème, mais vous pouvez consulter le lien ci-dessus! Je vais continuer à creuser…

This script is used to count the players of the game and not of another game

Oh well. Sorry, I can’t help you. Forgive me, I’m not a pro at scripting. Good luck with your game!

i dont really understand you, are you using google translate?
also do you mean getting the total amount of players in a game and not a server?
then you can use a proxy and use roblox’s games api to do that

Can you give us an example, we don’t quite understand what to put in the script?

The PlayerAdded event and GetPlayers function only works on server side, causing the problem.

Code:

local PlayerService = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local PlayerCounterGui = script.Parent
local TextLabel = PlayerCounterGui.TextLabel

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local PlayerAmount = CheckPlayerAmount()
	TextLabel.Text = "Players: ".. PlayerAmount
end)

function CheckPlayerAmount()
	local PlayerAmount = 0
	
	for i, v in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
		if (v:IsA("Humanoid")) then
			if (PlayerService:GetPlayerFromCharacter(v.Parent)) then
				PlayerAmount += 1
			end
		end
	end
	
	return PlayerAmount
end

Result:

Works with NPCs.

he said he wants GLOBAL players count, not CURRENT server players count.

You would need to use messaging service for that
This has already been solved here:

How do I get the amount of players playing my game?

You would need to communicate along the servers. I made something like that when I learned about MessagingService. I think you could also do this with HTTPService. local MessagingService = game:GetService("MessagingService") local Players = game:GetService("Players") local totalPlayerCount = 0 local function onReceive(msg) totalPlayerCount += msg.Data end MessagingService:SubscribeAsync("PlayerCount", onReceive) Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function() --Subscribe to the topic to por…
