how would i index the getplayersingame function

You wouldn’t be indexing the function; You would be indexing the table that the function returns. If getplayersingame() returns a table of Player instances. For example:

local winners = getplayersingame()
local firstPlayer = winners[1]

Given you’re dealing with a table of Player instances (assuming they are all “winners”) you’ll likely want to iterate over the table, concatenating the DisplayName of each Player:

function concatenatePlayers(players)
   if #players == 0 then
      return "No one"
   elseif #players == 1 then
      return players[1].DisplayName
   else
      local playerString = "and " .. players[#players].DisplayName
      for i = 1, #players - 1 do
         playerString = players[i].DisplayName .. ", " .. playerString
      end
      return playerString
   end
end

local winners = getplayersingame()
local winnerString = concatenatePlayers(winners)
message:FireAllClients(winnerString .. " won!")
