getElementsByType

Please tell me how to remove localPlayer from the resulting table and leave only players on the server?

 

I get a list of all players including localPlayer I would like localPlayer not to be selected in the list.

   for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
            --player - localPlayer 
            table.insert(playersList, player)
    end

for i, player in ipairs(getElementsByType("player")) do
--player - localPlayer 
	if player ~= localPlayer then
		table.insert(playersList, player)
	end
end

~= means different from

if is a condition

if player ~= localPlayer then means If the player is different from localPlayer

 

If you need help, don't hesitate to send me a message

This will work faster and better:

local players = getElementsByType("player")
local playersList = {}
local player = nil

for i = 1, #players do
	player = players[i]

	if player ~= localPlayer then
		playersList[#playersList + 1] = player
	end
end

We use integer loop, which is fastest loop so far.

We avoid using table.insert, manually adding is faster.
