Hello, I am creating a round system, and it works. Problem is, when the player dies, it should name a stringvalues value to a number (that is a string.). This error pops up:
Weird thing is, when this is executed on the top lines of code, it does work.
The PlayersLeft is a string, not an instance. You might wanna check the PlayersLeft referencing
^^ is the reference.
Weird thing is; when it is ran at the 75th line, it works like a charm. 86th line, errors.
the PlayersLeft could be already the string. and you should actually make it a NumberValue
also can you send us the entire script?
2 Questions:
1.What is playing?
2.What type value playing is?
playing is a table, automatically puts all the players in the table, and removes certain players on certain occasions. Checks every .04 seconds if the table amount less than 1 or equal to 1. (<=).

make the “PlayerLeft” a number value and remove the tostring whilst setting its value.
are you sure you’re not setting playersleft variable again somewhere in ur script?
Doesn’t work no more;
Line Code:
PlayersLeft.Value = #playing
Here is the full entire code;
