[Doffy]

function getTopThree()
    sortedTable = {}
    for player,damage in pairs(damageTable) do
        if isElement(player) then
            local team = getPlayerTeam(player)
                table.insert(sortedTable, {player, damage})
            end
        end
    table.sort(sortedTable, function(a,b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
    local t1, t2, t3 = {}, {}, {}
    t1 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[1][1]), sortedTable[1][2]} or {"N/A", "0"}
    t2 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[2][1]), sortedTable[2][2]} or {"N/A", "0"}
    t3 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[3][1]), sortedTable[3][2]} or {"N/A", "0"}
    triggerClientEvent(root, "showTopZDamage", root, t1, t2, t3)
end

 

i have a problem on when i want to get t2 and t3 because there's no player 
 " attempt to index field '?' ( a nil value ) "

This error occurs because sortedTable[2][1] or sortedTable[3][1] returns nil when there are no players and you are attempting to call getPlayerName on a nil value
 

function getTopThree()
    sortedTable = {}
    for player, damage in pairs(damageTable) do
        if isElement(player) then
            local team = getPlayerTeam(player)
                table.insert(sortedTable, {player, damage})
            end
        end
    table.sort(sortedTable, function(a, b) return a[2] > b[2] end)
    local t1, t2, t3 = {}, {}, {}
    t1 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[1][1]), sortedTable[1][2]} or {"N/A", "0"}
    t2 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[2][1]), sortedTable[2][2]} or {"N/A", "0"} if sortedTable[2] then
    t3 = {getPlayerName(sortedTable[3][1]), sortedTable[3][2]} or {"N/A", "0"} if sortedTable[3] then
    triggerClientEvent(root, "showTopZDamage", root, t1, t2, t3)
end

This ensures that t2 and t3 are only assigned if the sortedTable array contains enough elements avoiding the error
