All Players In Team

[Zalmon]

Would this work? If not, how do I fix it?

  
    local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
    for i, player in ipairs( getElementsByType ( players ) )  
    if (getPlayerTeam(players) == "Criminals") then 
    outputChatBox ( "I wanna say something only to this team", 255, 0, 0,players) 
  

I'm trying to get all the players in the team "criminals" and only tell the message to them.

for i,v in pairs(getPlayersInTeam(getTeamFromName("Criminals"))) do 
outputChatBox("Hello pals",v,255,0,0) 
end

You forgot an "end" and you use tables instead of player elements.

  
local players = getElementsByType ( "player" ) 
for i, player in ipairs( getElementsByType ( players ) ) 
    if (getPlayerTeam(player) == "Criminals") then  
        outputChatBox ( "I wanna say something only to this team", 255, 0, 0,player) 
    end 
end 
  

EDIT: pairs(getPlayersInTeam(getTeamFromName("Criminals")) works as well, like SolidSnake just posted before me.

Oh, my bad, I corrected my mistake, sorry for the inconvenience.

[Zalmon]

It's okay, it was a very easy mistake to fix, I didn't realize the error until I posted it.

Valid...

The problem is already solved, and that's the same code that castillo posted.

JR10, even wrong, because I had a missing ')' and I fixed it, but seems like he copied a old code.
