Code not running

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I have code in a script inside of an NPC, but that code does not run when activated, despite the fact that every piece of code before this code runs appropriately.

The script is a ServerScript.

This is the code that does not work:

local Num = 0
		repeat
	local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local nplrs = #Players
	local Randomplayer = nil
	if nplrs > 0 then
			Randomplayer = Players[math.random(1, nplrs)]
				local RPC = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(Randomplayer)
			    print(RPC)
	local ClonePart = script.Parent["Left Arm"].Part:Clone()
		ClonePart.Parent = workspace
		ClonePart.Position = RPC:WaitForChild("Torso").Position
				script.Parent.Sound:Play()
				Num = Num + 1
				print(Num)
				wait(0.183)
			end
		until Num == 5
-- Npc rig is R6

There is also no console output.

Why is it not running, and how do I make it run?

In the line 7, you are searching for a “Random Player” but you are trying to find a Player with a number, same in the line 8, you are trying to find a player with a number and not a string.

However the problem is: The script loads before a player can join the game, so add a 5 seconds wait in the top of the code and test it.

The script doesn’t load before players join the game. It is activated through a remote event.

And if you mentioned how:

Does that mean there is a working method as an alternative to numbers?

4

Can you make sure that the remote is fired, so the script runs?

5

I know the script runs because there is code before it that works when the remote is fired.

I was wrong, since you don’t get an error in your console then everything is fine, try adding a print in the top of the line 7, inside “if nplrs > 0 then” and see if it prints.

7 
if nplrs > 0 then
print("Works")

I added a print here and it printed.

8

Maybe try, repeat task.wait() or repeat wait(). But I suggest using task.wait() instead of wait() since it’s better. You can replace your wait() with task.wait() in the script.

Did “print(RPC)” and “print(Num)” works too?

10

They do not work when I run the script.

11

This did not fix the issue either.

12

I think I found the invisible error, in your “print(RPC)”, you are printing an instance, try doing “print(RPC.Name)”.

13

Any errors in the output? Trying your code in an r6 dummy shows some errors.

I think I fixed your script.

repeat task.wait(1)
	local Players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	local nplrs = #Players
	local Randomplayer = nil
	if nplrs > 0 then
		Randomplayer = Players[math.random(1, nplrs)]
		local RPC = game.Players:FindFirstChild(Randomplayer.Name)
		local ClonePart = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm"):Clone()
		ClonePart.Parent = workspace
		repeat task.wait() until RPC.Character
		ClonePart.Position = RPC.Character:FindFirstChild("Torso").Position
		script.Parent.Sound:Play()
		Num = Num + 1
		task.wait(0.183)
	end
until Num == 5
