i have a loading screen, yay!

but it doesn’t really work, no!

		rng -= chance
		if rng <= 0 then
			print(quote) -- this does NOT print, and the text stays as "Label"
			return quote
		end
	end
end

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	plr:SetAttribute("Loaded", false)

	coroutine.wrap(function()

Could you be more specific and tell what is the error or what is happening, and did you check the output if you have any errors?

#3

the quotes text isn’t changing, i do some rng shenanigans every 5 seconds and switch quotes, but for some reason the print inside the function doesn’t run

so the quotes text als odoesn’t change at all, so it stays as Label (Very annoying!)

there is absolutely no errors in the output

#4

Try adding more prints in the SelectQuote function like the print(rng) or print the total chance, etc. to check if everything is correct.

#5

uhhh i just had to apply the text first, because the game will always load too quickly, so the quote swapping will never run
