If statement not working?

#1

Hello! So I am working on a skip cutscene button and its not working? It will not print the message even though its the right amount.

script and not a localscript:

local Debouce3 = false
local Debouce4 = false
local TotalPlayers = #game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayers()

script.Parent.Parent.SkipButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if Debouce3 == false then
		Debouce3 = true
		script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value = script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value + 1
	end
end)

while wait(0.1) do
	script.Parent.Parent.SkipButton.Text = "Skips("..script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value.."/"..TotalPlayers..")"
	if script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value == TotalPlayers then
		print("works")
	end
end

Try printing out TotalPlayers, it’s probably going to be 0

#3

did it and it says 1 since I joined?

#4

Wb printing script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value ?

#5

Maybe put the TotalPlayers variable in the while wait(.1) do loop.

i added a print in the while wait and it prints it but the if script doesnt work?

#10

have you printed both totalplayers and the skips value? or just one? i’m a little confused on what is printing one here

#11

I’ve printed both and they both seem to work. just the if statement isnt running

#12

Are you printing both in the if statement or no? Also, why do you have two debounce variables?

#13

no in the button mouse1buttonclicked

#14

you aren’t updating the variable…

#15

you should update the variable and maybe inside the loop:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TotalPlayers = #Players:GetPlayers()

while task.wait(0.1) do
	TotalPlayers = #Players:GetPlayers()

	script.Parent.Parent.SkipButton.Text = "Skips("..script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value.."/"..TotalPlayers..")"
	if script.Parent.Parent.Skips.Value == TotalPlayers then
		print("works")
	end
end
#16

I told him to place that variable on the while loop but he said that it doesnt work.

#17

Anyways, he should consider that otherwise the value will remain the same after the script runs

#18

if statement isnt running still.?

#19

Weird, I’ve tested it out and worked?!

#20

it seems that its the totalplayers thing since I changed it with another value and it worked but if i change it to totalplayer it doesnt work
