Lua：如何更新事件中的变量？

Question

The issue I'm running into is that my variable isn't updating after an event. Here is my code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local intermission = 15 -- time in seconds

local AmountOfPlayers = #Players:GetPlayers() -- starts at zero
local minPlayers = 1


Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player) -- updates amount of players in server
    AmountOfPlayers = AmountOfPlayers + 1
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player) -- updates amount of players in server
    AmountOfPlayers = AmountOfPlayers - 1
end)

Below, this if-statement is not running since AmountOfPlayers is not equal to minPlayers.

while intermission > 0 do
    if AmountOfPlayers >= minPlayers then
    print("SUCCESS")                
    end
end

I have a scope issue of the variable AmountOfPlayers. I'm not sure how to fix this, so any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

You forgot to add a wait() in your while loop. This is most likely what leads to the script crashing and not working. So it should look like:

while intermission > 0 do
    wait()
    if AmountOfPlayers >= minPlayers then
    print("SUCCESS")                
    end
end

OR

If that isn't the problem, instead of making:

local AmountOfPlayers = #Players:GetPlayers()

Instead:

local AmountOfPlayers = Players:GetChildren()

And Remove the two functions.
