Am I stupid? Why is this not working?

Like i said, I added prints in the module. Its right in the first line, so no infinite loop should happen.

local plot = {}

plot.Random = Random.new()

local x = {}
local y = 200
local z = 300

local FIRST_OFFSET = 200

local function fillTable()
	for i=FIRST_OFFSET, 10000, 100 do
		wait()
		if not table.find(x, i) then
			table.insert(x, i)
		end
	end
end

fillTable()

function plot.new(player:Player)
	print("Called")
	local num = 1
	
	local chosen = x[num]
	
	table.remove(x, 1)
	
	local part = Instance.new("Part", game.ReplicatedStorage.Plots)
	part.Anchored = true
	part.Size = Vector3.new(50, 1, 50)
	part.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
	part.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.SmoothNoOutlines
	
	part.Position = Vector3.new(chosen, y, z)
	
	local tag = Instance.new("IntValue", part)
	tag.Name = "Position"
	tag.Value = chosen
	
	local plrValue = Instance.new("StringValue", part)
	plrValue.Name = "Player"
	plrValue.Value = player and player.Name or "LOL"
end

return plot

Now that I think about it, It might lie in the for loop.

That fill table function with the wait is going to take minutes. You’re doing a lot there. The player added code won’t work until that’s done. [oops. Didn’t notice you were incrementing by hundreds. Not minutes,]

I put an extra zero.

You can remove that wait. It’s a small enough loop you’re just adding delay unnecessarily (unless for some reason you need to specifically control the timing). My initial estimate was off because I didn’t notice the amount you were incrementing by. But any waits before your player added code can make it miss you while testing.

#15

Hold on…

Thats still not the problem.

The playerAdded event still doesnt fire

i commented out the actual module call and I added a print.

Still doesnt fire. It doesnt seem like it.

#16 
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Wait()

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	print("Player")
	--plot.new(player)
end)

do not yield the script if you need to connect PlayerAdded event, the event will be connected after palyer joined because of wait🤦‍♂️

#19

Still doesnt print sadly. I honestly think that I need to reinstall studio or something.

#20

step 1: open empty baseplate
step 2: create Script inside ServerScriptService
step 3: put this into the Script (and make sure its enabled set to true)

print("playeradded print script loaded")
game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
       print(plr.UserId,"joined")
end)
print("playeradded print script loaded confirmed!")
#21

Did you ever get it to print the line right above the connection?

#22

???

It works?

Lemme check my other script…

#23

Omg thank you so much for your help. It turns out the loop was Indeed the problem because it ran without a condition. Thank you all for helping.

I solved the issue by simply putting the for loop in a task.spawn(function()).

ayo why u need loops in playeradded? :skull: why didnt u told us uve had loops in it??

#25

Not in playerAdded, but in a module that gets fired when a player is added :slight_smile:

#26

ayo still dont understand :skull: :skull: :skull:

#27

in short terms

he had a loop blocking PlayerAdded from getting connected
