Better way about this? Not working

Hi!

For some reason, this is not working. What’s wrong?

local parent = script.Parent
function e()
	parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0
	local graph = parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes

		graph += 0.5
		
end


if script.Parent.Parent.Visible == true then
	e()
	end
#2

I think it needs to be a local function e(). I’m not too sure, tell me if it works

checking now, ui designer messed with something

#6

did you spell “Time” correctly? and can we see your workspace when testing

#7

It would work, doesn’t need to be a local function.
I can only suggest it isn’t working because the if statement doesn’t = true
Also since you’ve already created a variable for script.Parent you may as well use it in the if statement too:

local parent = script.Parent
function e()
	parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes = 0
	local graph = parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes

		graph += 0.5
		
end


if parent.Parent.Visible == true then
	e()
	else print("Not Visible!") end

Try that code and see if it prints the Not Visible message

Nothing.

It isn’t working when visible.

#10 
local Parent = script.Parent

function Test()
    local Graph = Parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes
    
    Graph += 0.5
end

if Parent.Parent.Visible == true then
    Test()
    print("Starting function?")
else
    print("Something happened")
end

Try this?

Nothing happened past here.

#12

If this is a Server Script, you need to check the Server Side Logs instead of the Client Side
You should’ve gotten some sort of output regardless?

#13

It’s a LocalScript, as you can see.

#14

Not really but ok

Try this then?

local Parent = script.Parent

print("Is this script even working")

function Test()
    local Graph = Parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes
    
    Graph += 0.5
end

if Parent.Parent.Visible == true then
    Test()
    print("Starting function?")
else
    print("Something happened")
end

wait(30)
Test()
#15

image Nothing past this

#16

The Output looks like the function should’ve started, so it should’ve worked???

Confirm it 1 last time:

local Parent = script.Parent

print("Is this script even working")

function Test()
    print("Bruh")
    local Graph = Parent.MaxVisibleGraphemes
    
    Graph += 0.5
end

wait()
if Parent.Parent.Visible == true then
    Test()
    print("Starting function?")
else
    print("Something happened")
end
#17

I saw the "bruh. Is something wrong with my function?

#18

No, the script should’ve worked if it printed that? Try it again, I edited it a bit

#19

i think i need some sort of loop in the Graph += function?

#20

What exactly are you wanting to do in that function exactly? Slowly increase the MaxVisibleGraphemes property?
