No errors being sent - everything is being printed correctly, apart from cooldown :skull_and_crossbones:

#2

Can you show your output from a test of this?

yeah me spamming it

#4

Is the rest of your script working correctly,

Try adding a wait() before refreshDB = false

#5

He has the wait in the for loop to make it wait and change the time left.

#6

Yeah everything else is working fine - Just added the wait() and it didnt work either.

#7

Also, you can do

for refreshDBTime, 5, 0, -1 do
  task.wait(1)
end

in place of having to create a variable then set the other one.

Can you try printing refreshDB after you set it to true, in the for loop, and before and after you set it to false?

#8

After Refresh DB is set to true, there is no statement setting it back to false. You will just have to add RefreshDB = false after your elseif statement.

#10

This has to be inside the elseif block. It is otherwise ignored.

#11

That block should still be running from the first time the button is clicked.

#12

Pretty sure its an issue with my refreshList() function as nothing gets printed after that

(highligted doesnt get printed)

I’ll take a look at my function and if that doesnt work i’ll let you know

#13

I just recreated your code in studio and tested it and it worked fine. It says “Cooldown” when I spam it.

#14

What’s in your refreshList() function?

#15 
local function refreshList()
	print('Refresh list')
	for _,v in pairs(script.Parent.bg.chattags.ScrollingFrame:GetChildren()) do
		if v:IsA("Frame") then
			v:Destroy()
			wait(0.01)
		end
	end

	print('Deleted frames')

	local PlayerData = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SentToServer.GetProfile:InvokeServer().Data
	repeat task.wait() until PlayerData 

	print('Got data')

	for _, JSONtag in pairs(PlayerData.ChatTags) do
		wait(0.01)
		local template = game.ReplicatedStorage.chattagTemplate:Clone()
		local tagInfo = game:GetService("HttpService"):JSONDecode(JSONtag)

		template.content.Text = tagInfo.Content
		template.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.new(tagInfo.Color.R, tagInfo.Color.G, tagInfo.Color.B)
		
		if tagInfo.Equiped then
			template.equip.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255, 52, 52)
			template.equip.Text = "Unequip"
		elseif not tagInfo.Equiped then
			template.equip.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(76, 255, 0)
			template.equip.Text = "Equip"
		end
	end

	print('Done')
end
#16

nevermind i did make it 30 00000000

#17

Oops! If that’s associated with the

repeat task.wait() until PlayerData

line, then I think I was right, because that’s the first thing I saw that I thought would be yielding the rest of the function.

Also, with debounce, you should always set that before you do anything in your code.

--instead of this
--code
debounce = true
wait()
debounce = false

--do this
debounce = true
--code
wait()
debounce = false
#18

put your debounce (the refreshDB = true) before the refreshList() line since functions will yield until it has been completed.

EDIT: nvm someone answered quicker than me xD

#20

Hi - yeah i fixed it

here:

local PlayerData = game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SentToServer.GetProfile:InvokeServer().Data

I was getting .data however I already return it with .data
i should check before posting

sorry for your time :sob::sob:

#21

No worries, I have the rest of the day off so I’m just patrolling the forums seeing who I can help with scripting stuff. haha
