As you can see when I am testing in Studio, my team randomiser script only teams one player for some reason.

Script:

local teams = {'Really red', 'Really blue' , 'New Yeller' , 'Institutional white'}
local team = {{''},{''},{''},{''}} 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) 
	local plrs = Players:GetChildren()
	if #team[1] == #team[2] then
		local choosed = math.random(1,2)
		table.insert(team, choosed, plr)
		plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(teams[choosed])
	elseif #team[1] < #team[2] then
		table.insert(team, 1, plr)
		plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(teams[1])
	elseif #team[1] > #team[2] then
		table.insert(team, 2, plr)
		plr.TeamColor = BrickColor.new(teams[2])
	end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr.TeamColor == 'Really red' then
		for i = 2, #team[1] do
			if team[1][i] == plr.Name then
				table.remove(team, 1, i)
				break
			end
		end
	elseif plr.TeamColor == 'Really blue' then
		for i = 2, #team[2] do
			if team[2][i] == plr.Name then
				table.remove(team, 2, i)
				break
			end
		end
		
	elseif plr.TeamColor == 'New Yeller' then
		for i = 3, #team[3] do
			if team[3][i] == plr.Name then
				table.remove(team, 3, i)
				break
			end
		end

	elseif plr.TeamColor == 'Institutional white' then
		for i = 4, #team[4] do
			if team[4][i] == plr.Name then
				table.remove(team,4, i)
				break
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Your issue is, you are inserting a player into the wrong table! Currently, you are using;

local choosed = math.random(1,2)
table.insert(team, choosed, plr)

Here is what your table would look like (‘4a’ would be a player object)
fd51a32ce6bdfda3da7ba8b0624fd2ee

However! You are inserting a new value into ‘team’ table instead of the specific team table (i.e team[1], team[2]).

I believe your solution is,

local choosed = math.random(1,2)
table.insert(team[choosed], plr)

In this case you do not need to set an index of where the player needs to go; however, you need to identify which table you are wanting to insert the player into!

Please let me know if this helped you!

Actually, forget that script, I made a new one that teams you to a random team, but this does not balance and I don’t know why.

local Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Children = Teams:GetChildren()


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	for _, player in pairs(Players:GetPlayers()) do
		if player.Team == Teams.Lobby then
			local randomTeam = Children[math.random(1, #Children)] 
			player.Team = randomTeam
			
			print(player.Name .. "'s team is now " .. randomTeam.Name)
		end
	end
end)
