Loading screen disappearing as soon as the game loads

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I’ve been working on a Loading Screen for my game, and its’ been working fine for a while, but now I’m having a problem where the loading screen is instantly destroyed once the game loads, without playing the tweens.
I started having this issue right after I changed the ScreenGui’s ZIndexBehavior to Global and changed the Z index of the things inside it to increments of 100(as recommended on the Developer Hub site).
Any help would be very much appreciated!
All the code is in a LocalScript by the way.

My code:

game.ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

local PlayerGUI = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local GUI = script.LoadingScreen:Clone()
GUI.Parent = PlayerGUI

repeat
	for i = 1, 30, 1 do
		GUI.Spinner.Rotation += 5
		wait(0.03)
	end
	if GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING.."
	elseif GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING.." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING..."
	elseif GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING..." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING."
	end
until game:IsLoaded() and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character ~= nil

local tween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(GUI.Spinner, TweenInfo.new(1.5), {Rotation = 0})
tween:Play()
local textTween = game:GetService("TweenService"):Create(GUI.Text, TweenInfo.new(1.5), {TextTransparency = 1; TextStrokeTransparency = 1})
textTween:Play()
wait(1.85)
GUI.LeftWall:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-2,0,0,0),"InOut","Sine",1)
GUI.RightWall:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(3,0,0,0),"InOut","Sine",1)
GUI.Spinner:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(2,0,0,0),"InOut","Sine",1)
wait(2)
GUI:Destroy()

Isn’t that the whole point of your code???

#3

It’s supposed to play the exiting tweens first

then destroy the GUI

Did you read the first part of the post???

Just change it to

local Number = 0
repeat
    Number = Number +1
	for i = 1, 30, 1 do
		GUI.Spinner.Rotation += 5
		wait(0.03)
	end
	if GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING.."
	elseif GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING.." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING..."
	elseif GUI.Text.Text == "LOADING..." then
		GUI.Text.Text = "LOADING."
	end
until game:IsLoaded() and game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character ~= nil and Number.Value >= 5

Can’t you just add in a little wait? Like 2 seconds once everything is finished? Or use Tween.Completed?

I do have a wait between the tweens playing and the gui destroying

How does that help? It looks like it just delays the tweens and everything after the loop until 5 seconds have passed… how would that change anything?

Okay what the heck. I had the Studio Camera above a block when I was testing before, then I moved the camera away from the block and tested it and now it works, I tried above the block again and it doesn’t then… I tried both with the ZIndex’s changed back to increments of 1.
This has to be a bug(I don’t have access to Bug Report though).(Maybe it has to do with the Block having a Script with a Touched connected Event inside it?)

Maybe you should wait a little longer, the player gui probably loaded and then you loaded when the gui was being destroyed…
that’s estimated 5-10 seconds loading, it usually takes me 10 seconds to load in a game on studio

If the GUI is being destroyed before the tween is completed, then use the Completed event of the tween.

#11

It’s being destroyed before the Tween even starts(as far as I can tell), and I have the Wait() wait for longer then the Tween’s time anyway.

#12

Use the Completed event of the tween so that the GUI doesn’t get destroyed immediately.

#13

I’m marking this as the solution so y’all don’t keep posting at something that’s been fixed(kinda)…

#15

? I have it so that the Character is not equal to nil(meaning it is in the game and controllable) before doing anything else.
(Also your post seems a bit off-topic.)
