For i loop doesnt work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am making this intermission system, the for i loop only loops once and then stop (at 24) i dont know why this is happening.

The script is on a server script

function menu()
	for i = 25, 0, -1 do
		gameGUI.MenuFrame.TextLabel.Text =  "Next Round starting in "..tostring(i).." seconds..."
		task.wait(1)
	end

	fadeInLoading()
	local started = startMatch()
	if started == false then
		fadeOutLoading()
		menu()
	else
		startMatch()
	end
end

Context for the function? What happens before and after? It could happen that the script is destroyed.

Because the for do works:

here is the full function:

function menu()
	for i = 25, 0, -1 do
		gameGUI.MenuFrame.TextLabel.Text =  "Next Round starting in "..tostring(i).." seconds..."
		task.wait(1)
	end

	fadeInLoading()
	local started = startMatch()
	if started == false then
		fadeOutLoading()
		menu()
	else
		startMatch()
	end
end

When the timer reaches 0 (end of the loop) it is going to call the startMatch function, that returns a value. If the player counts is lower than 2, it restarts the timer. Else, it starts the match. However the timer stops at 24.

I dont think that the problem its outside of the function

The problem is outside of the loop

for i = 25, 0, -1 do 
   print(i)
end

Prints every number correctly.

UPD: actually the error is probably in here

#5

So i added a print() and it actually prints but doesnt change the text. the code is on a server script

#6

Do you see any errors? as they should be there. The function only prints 24 because it loops only once and then breaks because of the error in

gameGUI.MenuFrame.TextLabel.Text = "Next Round starting in "..tostring(i).." seconds..."
#7

not at all. Changing gui should work in server scripts?

#8

Wait you are doing it in a serverscript? No it won’t work…
