Default Loading Screen Trouble

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I am really confused about why this script is not working, because I copied it directly from this DevHub page.

Can someone explain why the following localscript inside of ReplicatedFirst is not working and how to fix it?

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer 
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer 
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

-- Create a basic loading screen
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 20, 40)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.GothamSemibold
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
textLabel.Text = "Loading"
textLabel.TextSize = 28
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
-- Parent entire screen GUI to player GUI
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

-- Create a basic loading screen
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 20, 40)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.GothamSemibold
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
textLabel.Text = "Loading"
textLabel.TextSize = 28
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
-- Parent entire screen GUI to player GUI
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

-- Remove the default loading screen
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer 
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

-- Create a basic loading screen
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 20, 40)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.GothamSemibold
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
textLabel.Text = "Loading"
textLabel.TextSize = 28
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
local loadingRing = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
loadingRing.Size = UDim2.new(0, 256, 0, 256)
loadingRing.BackgroundTransparency = 1
loadingRing.Image = "rbxassetid://4965945816"
loadingRing.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
loadingRing.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
loadingRing.Parent = screenGui
-- Parent entire screen GUI to player GUI
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

-- Remove the default loading screen
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(4, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, -1)
local tween = TweenService:Create(loadingRing, tweenInfo, {Rotation=360})
tween:Play()

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(4, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, -1)
local tween = TweenService:Create(loadingRing, tweenInfo, {Rotation=360})
tween:Play()

--wait(3)  -- Optionally force screen to appear for a minimum number of seconds
if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end
screenGui:Destroy()

Could it be the fact that assets are loading so quickly, that you don’t get to see the loading screen?
Try uncommenting the --wait(3) and see if it shows up then?

The code works perfectly fine for me, also remove the duplicate tween creation from line 75 and 77.

Edit: You’ve copy pasted stuff from the developer hub incorrectly. You create the loading screen stuff multiple times, same with the tweens.
It does not work as expected due to that, here’s the fixed copy paste code:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer 
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

-- Create a basic loading screen
local screenGui = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
screenGui.IgnoreGuiInset = true
local textLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
textLabel.BackgroundColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(0, 20, 40)
textLabel.Font = Enum.Font.GothamSemibold
textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0.8, 0.8, 0.8)
textLabel.Text = "Loading"
textLabel.TextSize = 28
textLabel.Parent = screenGui
local loadingRing = Instance.new("ImageLabel")
loadingRing.Size = UDim2.new(0, 256, 0, 256)
loadingRing.BackgroundTransparency = 1
loadingRing.Image = "rbxassetid://4965945816"
loadingRing.AnchorPoint = Vector2.new(0.5, 0.5)
loadingRing.Position = UDim2.new(0.5, 0, 0.5, 0)
loadingRing.Parent = screenGui
-- Parent entire screen GUI to player GUI
screenGui.Parent = playerGui

-- Remove the default loading screen
ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(4, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear, Enum.EasingDirection.In, -1)
local tween = TweenService:Create(loadingRing, tweenInfo, {Rotation=360})
tween:Play()

wait(3)  -- Optionally force screen to appear for a minimum number of seconds
if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end
screenGui:Destroy()
