Having issues determining dice result

So I’m making a singleplayer dice game right now, and I’m having some issues. Basically my objective is to detect if the player has rolled a 7 or 11 (win) 2, 3 or 12 (loss) or anything else (point).

It SOMEWHAT works, however sometimes it doesn’t deduct when it’s supposed to. Here is my code:

local Point = nil
local Bet
game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacedBet.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, placedBet)
	Bet = placedBet
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.FindResult.Event:Connect(function()
	repeat
		wait()
	until _G.result1 ~= nil and _G.result2 ~= nil
	local result = _G.result1 + _G.result2
	if Point == nil then
		if result == 7 or result == 11 then
			local message = "You won by rolling a "..result.." on your first try!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.leaderstats.Money.Value += Bet
			end
			result = nil
		elseif result == 2 or result == 3 or result == 12 then
			local message = "Unfortunately you lost by rolling a "..result.."."
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.leaderstats.Money.Value > 1 then
					v.leaderstats.Money.Value -= Bet
				end
			end
			result = nil
		else
			local message = "Great, you've got a point! Now roll a "..result.." to win! Avoid rolling a 7 though!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
		end
	else
		if result == Point then
			local message = "You won by rolling your point!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.leaderstats.Money.Value += Bet
			end
			result = nil
			Point = nil
		elseif result == 7 then
			local message = "Unfortunately you lost by rolling a 7."
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.leaderstats.Money.Value > 1 then
					v.leaderstats.Money.Value -= Bet
				end
			end
			result = nil
			Point = nil
		end
	end
end)


In this video, you can see it deducts for a 12 even though I have a point. Sometimes I might roll my point, and it doesn’t award me, and sometimes I might roll a 3 maybe and it doesn’t deduct anything (thank god lmao)

How can I fix this?

This might sound silly, but where are you setting the point variable? I can’t see in this code where point is being set to anything other than nil.

	if Point == nil then
		if result == 7 or result == 11 then
			local message = "You won by rolling a "..result.." on your first try!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.leaderstats.Money.Value += Bet
			end
			result = nil
		elseif result == 2 or result == 3 or result == 12 then
			local message = "Unfortunately you lost by rolling a "..result.."."
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.leaderstats.Money.Value > 1 then
					v.leaderstats.Money.Value -= Bet
				end
			end
			result = nil
		else
			local message = "Great, you've got a point! Now roll a "..result.." to win! Avoid rolling a 7 though!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
		end
	else

In the last line, it says the player has a point, but nothing sets the point to anything other than nil from what I can see. :slight_smile:

ahh i see, in the part where you don’t roll 2,3,7,11, or 12, i didn’t set the point properly, I’ll see if this fixes the issue.

Same issue is still happening, my code looks like this:

Rolling a number that is not your point or a 7 breaks the game, and you can’t lose on your first roll.

local Point = nil
local Bet
game.ReplicatedStorage.PlacedBet.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, placedBet)
	Bet = placedBet
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.FindResult.Event:Connect(function()
	repeat
		wait()
	until _G.result1 ~= nil and _G.result2 ~= nil
	local result = _G.result1 + _G.result2
	if Point == nil then
		print({
			result,
			Point,
		})
		if result == 7 or result == 11 then
			local message = "You won by rolling a "..result.." on your first try!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.leaderstats.Money.Value += Bet
			end
			print("W")
		elseif result == 2 or result == 3 or result == 12 then
			local message = "Unfortunately you lost by rolling a "..result.."."
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.leaderstats.Money.Value > 1 then
					v.leaderstats.Money.Value -= Bet
				end
			end
			print("L")
		else
			local message = "Great, you've got a point! Now roll a "..result.." to win! Avoid rolling a 7 though!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			Point = result
			print("P")
		end
	else
		print({
			result,
			Point,
		})
		if result == Point then
			local message = "You won by rolling your point!"
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				v.leaderstats.Money.Value += Bet
			end
			print("PW")
			Point = nil
		elseif result == 7 then
			local message = "Unfortunately you lost by rolling a 7."
			print(message)
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
			for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
				if v.leaderstats.Money.Value > 1 then
					v.leaderstats.Money.Value -= Bet
				end
			end
			print("PL")
			Point = nil
		elseif result ~= Point or result ~= 7 then
			local message = "Keep rolling until you get a "..Point.."."
			game.ReplicatedStorage.DisplayResult:FireAllClients(message)
		end
	end
end)
