So, you’re trying to pick a random player, and put them in a table?

#3

The syntax for the script is wrong, it should look like this:

local Weapon = game.SeverStorage.Knife

local plrs = game.Players

while wait() do
  local chosen = plrs:GetPlayers()[math.random(1, #plrs:GetPlayers())]
  local character = chosen.Character
end

What this script does is chooses a random player. You can refrence the character by doing chosen.Character

#4

For Character I would put plrs?

#5

No, the character would be chosen.Character

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
for _ , Players in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
        local GettingPlayer = Players[math.random(1,#Players]

This is basically the same to what @DatabaseReplace said, however a slightly different way of doing it.

Also, if you want to learn more about picking stuff randomly, look at this post.
