Loading screen with % not functioning

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a loading screen UI that shows the percentage o the assets loaded in the game, the issue is the % doesn’t update and stays at 0% although through the output I can see assets being loaded. How can I go on about this?

game.ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()
local PlayerGui = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
wait(6)
local ui = script.Loading:Clone()
ui.Parent = PlayerGui
local CP = game:GetService("ContentProvider")
spawn(function()
	game:GetService('ContentProvider'):PreloadAsync({workspace,game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'),game:GetService('PlayerGui')})
end)
repeat ui:WaitForChild("K"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Text = math.floor(((CP.RequestQueueSize-CP.RequestQueueSize)/CP.RequestQueueSize)* 100)..'%' ui:WaitForChild("dis"):TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.6 - string.format('%.3f',CP.RequestQueueSize/CP.RequestQueueSize),0,0.243,0),1,0,.5,true) wait(1) until 
CP.RequestQueueSize <= 0
wait(2.5)
ui:Destroy()
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Chat, true)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)
game.StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.PlayerList, true)

I am assuming it’s the math.floor part and it’s I
not in the correct place. I am sorry if I am wrong.

#3

If it’s not in the correct place, where could it possibly be?

#4

math.floor((CP.RequestQueueSize-CP.RequestQueueSize)/CP.RequestQueueSize)* 100

Try this

Sorry I am on phone.

#5

Still had the same result as before.

#6

Wait a minute,

CP.RequestQueueSize-CP.RequestQueueSize

Would this just be 0 right?
As it’s the same value.

Yeah I found your problem, of course this would be 0.

#7

Oh, I didn’t notice that what would I change it out to…

#8

Yeah I don’t really know,
(100 - CP.RequestQueueSize)

Just mess around with the numbers, or someone else may know. Good luck!

#9

Ok, I got it to work except I need to find a perfect number to replace the 100 with so the percentage stays between 0-100.

#10

just clamp the percentage between 0 and 100

local p = 110
p = math.clamp(p, 0, 100)

before displaying it

Edit:

Wherever you’re displaying the value,

 -- assume v is the value you need to display
 -- instead of doing something.Text = v, do

 something.Text = math.clamp(v, 0, 100).. " %"
#11

How would I imply that to my script?

(Sorry, never heard of .clamp)

#13

math.clamp is not the right answer, it will mess up the percentage.
You need to record the queue size at the top and compare against that.

local totalQueue = CP.RequestQueueSize

And then to set the percentage

local tl = ui:WaitForChild("K"):WaitForChild("TextLabel")
repeat
   wait(1)
   local percent = math.floor((1-CP.RequestQueueSize/totalQueue)*100)
   -- blah blah
until CP.RequestQueueSize <= 0
#14

Hm, I get -inf when I run that line of code.

#15

Show me where you set the totalQueue variable. I wonder if RequestQueueSize starts at 0.
I just tested it, and so long as totalQueue is greater than zero and CP.RequestQueueSize is less than totalQueue, it works.

#16

The script is exactly like this:

local totalQueue = CP.RequestQueueSize

repeat
   wait(1)
   local percent = math.floor((1-CP.RequestQueueSize/totalQueue)*100)
ui:WaitForChild("K"):WaitForChild("TextLabel").Text = percent
until CP.RequestQueueSize <= 0
#17

I re-wrote the WaitForChild line for a reason, you shouldn’t be calling WaitForChild more than once, it’s a lot of inefficiency. That’s not going to fix anything, I’m just letting you know.

Try throwing a wait at the top, somewhere between one and five seconds, see if that fixes anything.

local totalQueue = 65536
local leftToLoad = 10000
print(math.floor((1-leftToLoad/totalQueue)*100)) --> 84
#18

Same result as before, except when it completes loading the TextLabel’s Text is “-nan(ind)”
