So, I have a CollectionService tag that has 4 objects.
local collectionService = game:GetService("CollectionService")
local videoFramesTag = collectionService:GetTagged("VideoFrames")
for i, v in (videoFramesTag) do
print("Hello") -- Prints 8 times
end
The issue is that it loops 8 times. Shouldn’t it loop 4 times because the tag has 4 objects?
somehow, this is not working it is only printing 4 times for me
Figured it out, it’s because the code was written in a LocalScript, not a ServerScript.
That’s still weird though. It loops x2 times when written inside a LocalScript
Is the runcontext set to client? It may run inside the starterCharacterScript, then get cloned again and run twice inside a cloned local script in the player character.
Same thing if its inside starterGUi as the script gets cloned. Seen a similar problem on #help-and-feedback:scripting-support some time this week.
Same as above, you may also at some point use LoadCharacter or replace the player’s character, this causes it to work twice
That’s because it is in starterCharacterScripts or StarterGui, and it ran before it was cloned, resulting in the loop running 8 times. you should probably put to starterPlayerScripts instead, if the character is not needed. The starterGui also clones it to the playerGui which is outside of playerscripts. so the localscript will run
No, set to Legacy.
It’s within StarterGui, not StarterPlayerScripts nor StarterCharacterScripts.
Something that could affect StarterGui? Do you use LoadCharacter? Do you remove the Character in some way?
that’s only if the ScreenGui has Reset on Spawn on, but if it does then it will run once again.
Not necessarily, its parent may be StarterGui and not a ScreenGui, but it may also be that.
No, I’m not manipulating the character in any way, shape or form.
Fixed it by using for i = 1, #screenGui:GetChildren() do instead.
