Event fired based on the count of players?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    I want to learn how to avoid and fix this.
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The issue is, if i use “FireAllClients” it fires it once then after a few seconds another time and in a loop until it reaches the end. Example: if theres 3 players, then it will fire once wait and fire another time, wait and fire. If i use “FireClient” it will only fire for one player…
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I tried looking on the devforum, scriptinghelpers, youtube, nothing worked.

I’m not too sure, about what you’re trying to achieve, but I’m guessing, since you’re looping through the players, you actually only want these events to fire the specefic player, and not every player?

Try using :FireClient(player) instead, if that’s the case.

Else, I don’t really get what you’re trying to do here. Let me know if it helped :slight_smile:

No thats not the case, im trying to fire it for every player but just once, but if theres 12 players, it fires and it waits in a loop 12 times.

#4

Just remove the player loop, or break it after the 1st one?
