I need help fixing my 3 lap time trial system

Hey! I keep running into a problem, and I am making a Mariokart type game, with time trials and everything, and I came into another problem with Time Trials. I have 1 laps maps, those were easy to work on time trials. Now I have 3 lap maps, and oh boy it is not going good. When people hit these parts values do save but, it is not adding a lap, and it does the final lap procedure every time.

When you cross the finish line

local lapcounter = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Lap.TextLabel.LapCounter.RealLapNumber
local eelapcounter = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Lap.TextLabel.LapCounter.LapNumber
local stopwatchvalue = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.StopWatch.Window.StopwatchValue

game.ReplicatedStorage.EndRace.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToAdvance.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToAdvance.Value = false
		lapcounter.Value = eelapcounter.Value
	elseif script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToEndRace.Value == true then
		script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToEndRace.Value = false
		script.Parent.Text = stopwatchvalue.Value
		stopwatchvalue.Parent.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Visible = false
		
		
	end
end)

When you hit the checkpoint:

local lap = script.Parent.LapCounter.LapNumber
local bool = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToAdvance
local endrace = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToEndRace

game.ReplicatedStorage.Advance.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.RealLapCounter.LapNumber.Value == 1 or 2 then
		bool.Value = true
		script.Parent.LapCounter.LapNumber.Value = script.Parent.LapCounter.LapNumber.Value + 1
	elseif script.Parent.RealLapCounter.LapNumber.Value == 3 then
		endrace.Value = true
		script.Parent.LapCounter.LapNumber.Value = script.Parent.LapCounter.LapNumber.Value + 1
	else
		print("You silly goose! You cannot advance. ")
	end
end)

When people get a value:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Advance.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.AllowedToAdvance.Value = true
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.EndRace.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Parent.AllowedToEndRace.Value = true
end)

If you can help, please let me know. Thanks, WE

Something to add, If I can get this to work, finishing Grand Prix and Online Races will be pretty easy!

#3

Maybe because you’re using the same remote event for every map?

#4

I think you should add a part that they will hit when they teach the checkpoint make sure the part is on the checkpoint. Then add a folder named checkpoints.
This well this will help.

Change some things around so that you can not get copyrighted.

#6

in the first if statement, you check:

if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToAdvance.Value == true

then you do in an elseif:

if script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Bools.AllowedToAdvance.Value == true

you need to change the elseif statement check to false instead of true.

#7

No he doesn’t, one of them says AllowedToEndRace and the other is AllowedToAdvance.

#8

oopsie, my bad
thanks for the catch xD

#9

I dont know if its related to your issue or not but

if script.Parent.RealLapCounter.LapNumber.Value == 1 or 2 then

I think you need to check it twice. I Think, that the “or 2” is a completely separate condition and not if Lap is equal to 1 or 2

if Lap.Value == 1 or Lap.Value == 2 then

I have figured it out. Sadly no one got it.
