What is the idea of the game?
Any code we can work from?

If you are mean that the amount of seconds you want a wait() to wait just use wait(#game.Players:GetPlayers())

@ToastEngines why would you use 1*…? And it is more useful to use getplayers instead of getchildren since somebody probably added something randoms to the player map\service

We do not know if he wants to wait 1 second per player or 0.1 or any number per player based on the question I assume he has very little understanding of programming by providing a number he can easily guess as to what its for and change it thusly

Why would anyone add an object to the player service?

Sometimes people do it accidentally idk, but you better be safe then sorry

You could use a repeat until function like so:

local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()

repeat
wait(1)
until #players >= 1

This post doesn’t really explain the use case or how you want it to work. Can you explain more in-depth? If you mean you want a wait to be larger depending on the number of players, you could try something like:

wait(#game.Players:GetChildren() / 10)

Or whatever you want.
