Wait for Minimum Players Not Working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In my code, I wait until there are a certain number of players and then it should continue with the rest of the script. But that isn’t working for some reason. This is my code:

local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
while wait() do
	if #Players >= minimumPlayers then
		print("Minimum players achieved")
		break
	else
		print("Waiting for 2 players")
		Status.Value = "Not enough players to start the game.."
	end
end

I’ve tried printing it but it always prints “Waiting for 2 players”. Oh and I forgot to say that minimumPlayers is set to 2.

Well, you’re never updating the players value. It’s a constant value meaning it’ll always be the same. You’ll have to update it in the loop.

To be exact, you can just move the Players variable down into the loop.

Are you talking about this bit local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()?

Yeah, that’s the variable I’m talking about.

Oh, I never knew that, I just thought it would automatically update. :man_shrugging:

Nope, cause it returns a table it wouldn’t automatically update.
