'for' step must be a number

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Is it a bug or what? I printed out the type and it all returned number, not sure why it happened

local function useAnger(player)
	local startTime = tick()
	local hum = player.Character.Humanoid
	local WalkSpeed = player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
	local maxSpeed = 20+baseWalkSpeed+player.Stats.maximumSpeed.Value*3
	local addSpeed = 3+player.Stats.additiveSpeed.Value*additiveSpeedMultiplier
	print(type(addSpeed),type(maxSpeed),type(WalkSpeed))-->number, number, number
	local function addSpeed()
		for i=WalkSpeed, maxSpeed, addSpeed do 
			hum.WalkSpeed = i
			wait(.05)
		end
		hum.WalkSpeed = maxSpeed
	end
	repeat 
		RS.Heartbeat:Wait()
		addSpeed() 
	until tick() - startTime > BaseAngerTime
end

type(arg) returns the data type of the arg you supplied to it. In your example, WalkSpeed, maxSpeed, and addSpeed all seem to be numbers, so the script is functioning as it should.

What exactly are you asking?

There’s an error and it didn’t ran

Oh, okay, I see now. I’m not quite sure exactly what is causing the problem here, but it could be the scopes. Try making WalkSpeed, maxSpeed, and addSpeed variables not local (remove local before the variable). Or, if you don’t want to do that (I probably wouldn’t), then rearrange your code to look something like this:

local function useAnger(player)
	local startTime = tick()
	local hum = player.Character.Humanoid
	local WalkSpeed = player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed
	local maxSpeed = 20+baseWalkSpeed+player.Stats.maximumSpeed.Value*3
	local addSpeed = 3+player.Stats.additiveSpeed.Value*additiveSpeedMultiplier
	print(type(addSpeed),type(maxSpeed),type(WalkSpeed))-->number, number, number

	repeat 
		RS.Heartbeat:Wait()
		for i=WalkSpeed, maxSpeed, addSpeed do 
			hum.WalkSpeed = i
			wait(.05)
		end
		hum.WalkSpeed = maxSpeed
	until tick() - startTime > BaseAngerTime
end

Let me know what you get

Edit: AMD_chan is correct, and you should follow what he says. Using my version of the code would also fix this issue, and so would renaming the function.

In your loop, addSpeed is a function. When you do local function addSpeed(), it implicitly creates the addSpeed variable within its scope. Simply renaming the function should fix the issue.
