Players

[babecka]

Hello. I've this code:

function onDeath() 
    alive = getAlivePlayers() 
    if getPlayerCount() <= 0 then 
        outputChatBox("You can not receive your reward because there are not enough players!", source, 255, 0, 0) 
    else 
        if alive >= 3 then 
            local reward = math.random(2000, 3000) 
            local points = math.random(20, 40) 
            givePlayerMoney(source, reward) 
            setElementData(source, "points", getElementData(source, "points") + points) 
            outputChatBox("You have been killed and you won $" .. reward .. " and " .. points .. " points!" , source, 255, 255, 0) 
        elseif alive <= 3 then 
            local reward = math.random(2500, 3000) 
            local points = math.random(40, 60) 
            givePlayerMoney(source, reward) 
            setElementData(source, "points", getElementData(source, "points") + points) 
            outputChatBox("You have been killed and you won $" .. reward .. " and " .. points .. " points!" , source, 255, 255, 0) 
        elseif alive == 1 then 
            local reward = math.random(3500, 4500) 
            local points = math.random(80, 100) 
            givePlayerMoney(source, reward) 
            setElementData(source, "points", getElementData(source, "points") + points) 
            outputChatBox("You have been killed and you won $" .. reward .. " and " .. points .. " points!" , source, 255, 255, 0) 
        end 
    end 
end 

The problem is, no message shows up and I don't get the money/points. I get this error:

attempt to compare number with table

I had the same error with this code:

if getPlayerCount() <= 0 then

but I've added the () and it fixed the error.

However, it doesn't fix it in this case.

I tried to remove the variable alive and put getAlivePlayers() instead of it, but it gave me the same error.

How do I get this to work?

getAlivePlayers return table so you should use #alive instead of alive.

Also you've checked if there less than or equal to zero players which this mean there no players in the server and this make no sense because the code wouldn't have executed if there's no players at all.

Thank you for the reply. The zero is just for testing purposes, because I have no one to test it with.
