Hello! I need a hand with my game project. What could be wrong with my script in StarterGui? I’m encountering the following error:

10:32:56.271  Blue is not a valid member of Teams "Teams" - Server - Script:56

The error that you are getting means that there isn’t a team named “Blue”

This should work:

-- Assume you have labels named "BlueTeamCountLabel" and "RedTeamCountLabel" in your user interface
local blueTeamCounter = script.Parent["blue_Counter"].blueTeamText
local redTeamCounter = script.Parent["red_Counter"].redTeamText

-- Set the font face to "Michroma"
blueTeamCounter.Font = Enum.Font.Michroma -- Choose the appropriate Enum.Font for "Michroma"
redTeamCounter.Font = Enum.Font.Michroma -- Choose the appropriate Enum.Font for "Michroma"

-- Function to update the number of players in the Blue team
local function updateBlueTeamCount()
	local blueTeam = game.Teams:FindFirstChild("Blue")

	if blueTeam then
		-- Count the number of players in the Blue team
		local playersInBlueTeam = #blueTeam:GetPlayers()

		-- Adjust this based on your limit
		local maxPlayersPerTeam = 3 

		-- Update the text to display the current and maximum players in the Blue team
		blueTeamCounter.Text = playersInBlueTeam .. "/" .. maxPlayersPerTeam

		-- Debugging print statement
		print("Blue Team Player Count: " .. playersInBlueTeam)
	else
		-- Set the text to "0/3" if the Blue team does not exist
		blueTeamCounter.Text = "0/3"
		print("Blue Team does not exist.")
	end
end

-- Function to update the number of players in the Red team
local function updateRedTeamCount()
	local redTeam = game.Teams:FindFirstChild("Red")

	if redTeam then
		-- Count the number of players in the Red team
		local playersInRedTeam = #redTeam:GetPlayers()

		-- Adjust this based on your limit
		local maxPlayersPerTeam = 3 

		-- Update the text to display the current and maximum players in the Red team
		redTeamCounter.Text = playersInRedTeam .. "/" .. maxPlayersPerTeam

		-- Debugging print statement
		print("Red Team Player Count: " .. playersInRedTeam)
	else
		-- Set the text to "0/3" if the Red team does not exist
		redTeamCounter.Text = "0/3"
		print("Red Team does not exist.")
	end
end

-- Update the counts initially
updateBlueTeamCount()
updateRedTeamCount()

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

-- Configuration for the maximum number of players per team
local maxPlayersPerTeam = 2
local blueTeamCount = 0
local redTeamCount = 0

-- Get or create teams
local blueTeam = game.Teams:FindFirstChild("Blue") or Instance.new("Team")
local redTeam = game.Teams:FindFirstChild("Red") or Instance.new("Team")

-- Configure teams
blueTeam.Name = "Blue"
blueTeam.Parent = game.Teams

redTeam.Name = "Red"
redTeam.Parent = game.Teams

-- Connect the functions to the PlayerAdded and PlayerRemoving events for Blue team
game.Teams.Blue.PlayerAdded:Connect(updateBlueTeamCount)
game.Teams.Blue.PlayerRemoving:Connect(updateBlueTeamCount)

-- Connect the functions to the PlayerAdded and PlayerRemoving events for Red team
game.Teams.Red.PlayerAdded:Connect(updateRedTeamCount)
game.Teams.Red.PlayerRemoving:Connect(updateRedTeamCount)

-- Function to assign a team to a player
local function assignTeam(player)
	-- Create the 'leaderstats' folder for the player
	local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
	leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
	leaderstats.Parent = player

	-- Check and assign the player to a team
	if blueTeamCount < maxPlayersPerTeam and (redTeamCount >= maxPlayersPerTeam or math.random() > 0.5) then
		player.Team = blueTeam
		blueTeamCount = blueTeamCount + 1
	else
		player.Team = redTeam
		redTeamCount = redTeamCount + 1
	end
end

-- Connect the function to the PlayerAdded event
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(assignTeam)

The PlayerAdded for the teams were before the teams were created which was a mistake

First of all you are using a normal script on gui? Second not going to ask why you are writing the statements but sure?

So basically I tried to change it to PlayerRemoved and it should work.

Here is a example:

game.Teams.Red.PlayerAdded:Connect(updateRedTeamCount)
game.Teams.Red.PlayerRemoved:Connect(updateRedTeamCount)

It should be working after.
