You can just choose randomly 1 player to be on the pacman team. I haven’t tested the code so I can’t guarantee that it will work. Please tell me if it doesn’t.

local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local chosenPacman = game.Players[math.random(1, #game.Players:GetPlayers())]
chosenPacman.Team = Teams.PacmanTeam

for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if player.Team ~= Teams.PacmanTeam then
        player.Team = Teams.GhostTeam
    end
end

Is there a way I can make sure the script just runs when there are multiple players? So that I can test properly :stuck_out_tongue:

What do you mean by that? If you want to test with multiple players, you can run a test server from the Test tab in studio.

I assume you’re trying to make a round based game? In that case you can do a while true do loop, and every time a round starts you can check if there are enough players.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

while true do
    --checks if there are more than 4 players
    if #Players:GetPlayers() >= 4 then
        --assign the team here
    end
end
