I need help with my player choosing system

Hello there!

So I have this little piece of script right here, which is supposed to choose from a folder a random player inside.

I’ve put 3 models inside the folder for testing the script( “Player1”, “Player2” and “Player3”).

Here’s a photo by any chance:

The problem is that when any of my test model is chosen, it prints perfectly fine.
But when it picks my character, it prints me out “nil”.

Here’s the code:

local k = math.random(1,#plrsInLobby_Folder:GetChildren())
local chosenK = plrsInLobbyTable[k]
print(chosenK,k) -- "ChosenK" it's the name/value , and "k" is the number/index.

Here’s what it prints when a test model is chosen:

And here’s what it prints when my character is chosen:

I’ve tried a lot of things trying to solve it, so I would apreciate any answer.

I hope I don’t look dumb if it’s an obvious solution for this.

Thank you!

Show how you assign plrsInLobby_Folder and plrsInLobbyTable.

Oh okay. I did not know these were necessary.

local plrsInLobbyTable = plrsInLobby_Folder:GetChildren()
----
local plrFolder = game.Workspace.Players_Folder
local plrsInLobby_Folder = plrFolder.In_Lobby

Why is plrsInLobby_Folder assigned after it is already used in the first line?
