[TFS 1.3] Globalevents onTime create a teleport for a zombie event.

Thanks to StreamSide, I share the script I made.

I don't know anything much about scripts, I applied the logic a bit and this is what has come out.
I don't know if the structure is right.

function onTime(interval, lastExecution)
    local minPlayers = 1
    local maxPlayers = 2
    local waitTime = 5
   
    local playersOnline = getOnlinePlayers()

    if playersOnline > maxPlayers then --How do I set this correctly?
        -- If it's a staff member, just teleport inside and do not count as a participant
        if player:getGroup():getAccess() then
            player:teleportTo(ze_WaitingRoomStartPosition)
            return false
        end

        -- If the state of the event is closed or started, stop them from join
        if isInArray({ze_EVENT_CLOSED, ze_EVENT_STARTED}, getZombieEventState()) then
            return false
        end

        -- If player got pz, forbid them to join
        if player:isPzLocked() then
            player:sendCancelMessage("You cannot join while your in a fight.")
            return false
        end

        -- If there is max players joined, stop them from join
        if getZombieEventJoinedCount() >= ze_maxPlayers then
            player:sendCancelMessage("The event is already full.")
            return false
        end

        -- Set the new variables and setup the event
        setupZombieEvent(minPlayers, maxPlayers, waitTime)
    end

    return false
end

I guess this function "getOnlinePlayers" returns a table with the id and the name of the player, so maybe try change:

local playersOnline = getOnlinePlayers()

to

local playersOnline = #getOnlinePlayers()

Update: I did it. Thank you.

function onTime(interval, lastExecution)
    local minPlayers = 3 --
    local maxPlayers = 3 --
    local waitTime = 1 --
    
    local playersOnline = #getOnlinePlayers()

    if playersOnline >= maxPlayers then
        Game.broadcastMessage("Zombie Event it's coming...", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
        print('...Game.broadcastMessage("Zombie Event Starting...", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)...')
        -- Set the new variables and setup the event
        setupZombieEvent(minPlayers, maxPlayers, waitTime)
    else
      Game.broadcastMessage("[Zombie Event]: Insufficient online players to open the event", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
      print('[Zombie Event]: Insufficient online players to open the event')
    end
    
    return false
end
