Inserting players name into table

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hey developers I have a problem how do I insert the current players in the game inside of a table? I tried using loops maybe I’m not using them correctly and also I read 2 previous topics and it didn’t help. Thanks

local TableOfPlayers = game:GetService'Players':GetPlayers()

It would also help if you posted your code so people could see where you went wrong

Tay-bels are an interesting thing to learn, depending on your scenario you could get all the current in-game players by using game.Players:GetPlayers() through a for i, v in pairs loop

local IngamePlayers = {}

function StartGame()
    for _, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        table.insert(IngamePlayers, Player.Name)
    end
end

That works but how do I make a custom table where I can add or remove values(players).

This is my current script

MiniGameModule.GetPlayers = function()

local PlayersInGame = {}

for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	table.insert(PlayersInGame, i, tostring(v.Name))
end

return PlayersInGame

end

You could implement custom functions to determine when you want to add/remove the Players inside the table, maybe something like this inside a CharacterAdded & Died Event?

for Number, Player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
    if CharacterWhoDied.Name == Player.Name and table.find(PlayersInGame, CharacterWhoDied.Name) then
        table.remove(PlayersInGame, Number)
    end
end

I already have it implemented to check if a player in the table has died and if they did remove them. But I need a custom table that holds the players in the round. Basically I want to store in the table all of the players.

There’s no difference between writing it as 'Players' or ('Players'). That’s just my preference

Would it have a different result if you wrote it as "Players" instead of 'Players'?

#11

tostring(v.Name) is unneeded as the player’s name is already a string.

I don’t think it still wouldn’t make any difference

I believe you could do in either ways:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Players = game:GetService('Players')
local Players = game:GetService"Players"
local Players = game:GetService'Players'

Didn’t know that you could do it without the parenthesis
