So basically this is script works pretty much like a minigame script, with the difference that the focus is only on racing.
What do you want to achieve?
I want the Main script to have a focus on the 3 first persons to cross the finish line (touch the part) if the Winner (first person to cross the line) finish the race and the time is not over then “do stuff”. Basically the Ingame part of the main script will focus on the first person to finish the race and the remaining time left to decide what will happen next.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
I’ve tried doing what i said above but don’t know where i did it wrong, i’ve been trying to mess around with the “end” changing it’s position to see what happens, but it always skips a piece of code whenever i change them.
Here is the script:
local vals = game.ReplicatedStorage.vals
t = 0
while true do
wait(1)
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
if #plrs > 0 then
t = 10
repeat
t = t-1
s.Value = "Intermission.. "..t
wait(1)
until t == 0
s.Value = "Game starting!"
wait(2)
local mapselect = game.ReplicatedStorage.Games:GetChildren()
local choose = math.random(1, #mapselect)
curnum = 0
for i =1,#mapselect do
curnum = curnum +1
if curnum == choose then
mapselect[i]:Clone().Parent = workspace
curmap = mapselect[i].Name
s.Value = "Next map is "..mapselect[i].Name
end
end
wait(3)
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
local num = math.random(1,32)
plrs[i].Character.Head.CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.Teleports["Part"..num].Position)
plrs[i].Character.Parent = workspace.Ingame
end
t=20 -- Round starting time
repeat t = t-1 -- FIRST PLACE START --
s.Value = t.." seconds left"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or vals.Winner.Value ~= "" or #ingame == 0
if vals.Winner.Value ~= "" then -- If the Winner (Firtst Place) exists then:
s.Value = vals.Winner.Value.. " finished first!"
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value +50
game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Wins.Value = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Wins.Value +1
-- FIRST PLACE END --
wait(1)
repeat t = t-1 -- SECOND PLACE START --
s.Value = t.." seconds left"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or vals.Second.Value ~= "" or #ingame == 0
if vals.Second.Value ~= "" then -- If the Second place exists then:
s.Value = vals.Second.Value.. " finished second!"
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
game.Players[vals.Second.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players[vals.Second.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value +25
-- SECOND PLACE END --
wait(1)
repeat t = t-1 -- THIRD PLACE START --
s.Value = t.." seconds left"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or vals.Third.Value ~= "" or #ingame == 0
if vals.Third.Value ~= "" then -- If the Second place exists then:
s.Value = vals.Third.Value.. " finished third!"
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
game.Players[vals.Third.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players[vals.Third.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value +25
end-- THIRD PLACE END --
wait(1)
repeat t = t-1
s.Value = t.. " remaining to everyone else!"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or #ingame == 0 and vals.Winner.Value ~= ""
s.Value = "Race is over!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
else
s.Value = "No one has won!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
end
end
wait(3)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
for i =1,#ingame do
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(ingame[i])
plr:LoadCharacter()
end
workspace[curmap]:Destroy()
wait(1)
end
end
else
s.Value = "Waiting for 2 players to start."
wait(1)
end
end
end
i don’t get anything on the output btw, it just skips pieces of code
The skipping issues starts on this part of the script:
repeat t = t-1
s.Value = t.. " remaining to everyone else!"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or #ingame == 0 and vals.Winner.Value ~= ""
s.Value = "Race is over!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
else
s.Value = "No one has won!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
end
end
wait(3)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
for i =1,#ingame do
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(ingame[i])
plr:LoadCharacter()
end
workspace[curmap]:Destroy()
wait(1)
end
end
else
s.Value = "Waiting for 2 players to start."
wait(1)
end
end
end
Depending on what “end” i change positions this piece of code works:
for i =1,#ingame do
local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(ingame[i])
plr:LoadCharacter()
end
workspace[curmap]:Destroy()
wait(1)
end
end
else
s.Value = "Waiting for 2 players to start."
wait(1)
end
end
end
But never this one, this part always skips:
s.Value = t.. " remaining to everyone else!"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or #ingame == 0 and vals.Winner.Value ~= ""
s.Value = "Race is over!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
else
s.Value = "No one has won!"
vals.Winner.Value = ""
vals.Second.Value = ""
vals.Third.Value = ""
end
end
Usually when “skipping” issues arise, I like to use print(value) to determine which check is failing
local FailedValue = false
print(FailedValue)
if FailedValue then
print("Success")
end
Once you diagnose where the check failed, you can trace back to all the parts of the script that deals with the failed value and determine where it failed, like this:
local FailedValue = true
print(FailedValue) --Ok, everything is alright
local FailedValue = false
print(FailedValue) --Uh oh!
if FailedValue then
print("Success!")
end
Simply use the print function to test if this line of code is being played or not. Take this scenario for example…
Lets say I have a statement which picks a random number 1 - 3
Then I detect which number has been pressed
Ill detect this by printing in the console
local number = math.random(1,3)
if number == 1 then
print("its one"
elseif number == 2 then
print("two")
elseif number == 3 then
print("its three")
end
Now I can see which lines of code got ran in the if statement by simply seeing what got printed in the console
So, i’ve tried doing what you’ve said and here is what i get:
Even though the idea of my game is to be playable only if there is 2 or more people on the server, i want the script to work properly even if there is only 1 person playing, SO the script works only to this point when the Winner value is defined:
s.Value = vals.Winner.Value.. " finished first!"
local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#plrs do
game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Points.Value +50
game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Wins.Value = game.Players[vals.Winner.Value].leaderstats.Wins.Value +1
print("First Place Over") -- FIRST PLACE END --
It prints “First Place Over” and seems like it freezes and start the script all over skipping all the rest of the script
It is most likely getting stuck in this repeat statement…
repeat t = t-1 -- SECOND PLACE START --
s.Value = t.." seconds left"
wait(1)
local ingame = workspace.Ingame:GetChildren()
until t <= 0 or vals.Second.Value ~= "" or #ingame == 0
Try printing something into the console to log when the repeat statement has ended
If its not the repeat statement then its the if statement corresponding to it.
Once again figuring this out is simply just testing the print statement after said condition has ran to verify it has actually ran…
