Local script stuck on game.Loaded:Wait()

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

Hello developers!

I’ve been working on implementing a custom loading screen, however the script gets stuck yielding on game.Loaded:Wait().

Here is the code:

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end

Is the game has already loaded and game:IsLoaded() returns true it continues as normal however if it hasn’t it just gets stuck on

game.Loaded:Wait()

Is the script in ReplicatedFirst?

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

It’s in StarterGui. Does the script need to be I replicated first in order for this to work?

[Wizzthepixelcat (Tifa)]

I’m not entirely sure, but I usually use game.Loaded in ReplicatedFirst.

I tried it and it still works, mind showing your hierarchy?

The script I used:

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end

print("hey") -- "hey" (still prints)

in game.StarterGui

Just letting you know incase this matters, the scripts parent is a ScreenGui, this ScreenGui’s parent is StarterGui. Also it loads properly if the if not game:IsLoaded() returns true. It’s only if the game hasn’t loaded yet where the issue arises.

Here is the rest of the code prior to the game:IsLoaded():

local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local loadingFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild('loadingFrame')
local menuFrame = loadingFrame.Parent:FindFirstChild('menu')
local blankFrame = menuFrame.Parent.blankFrame
local tweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
local rn = game:GetService('RunService')
local CP = game:GetService('ContentProvider')
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Events'):WaitForChild('loaded')

local buttons = menuFrame:FindFirstChild('Buttons')

local started = false

loadingFrame.Visible = true
menuFrame.Visible = true

ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end

print("Game has loaded") -- Doesn't print.

Prints for me

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

I think your game may have loaded before the if not game:IsLoaded(), because it works for me if it has but if it hasn’t then it just gets stuck at game.Loaded:Wait.

[coo1ifyy]

can you take a picture of your hierarchy so i can take a better look?

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

If you mean the rest of the script, here you go:

local ReplicatedFirst = game:GetService("ReplicatedFirst")
local loadingFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild('loadingFrame')
local menuFrame = loadingFrame.Parent:FindFirstChild('menu')
local blankFrame = menuFrame.Parent.blankFrame
local tweenService = game:GetService('TweenService')
local rn = game:GetService('RunService')
local event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild('Events'):WaitForChild('loaded')

local buttons = menuFrame:FindFirstChild('Buttons')

local started = false

loadingFrame.Visible = true
menuFrame.Visible = true

ReplicatedFirst:RemoveDefaultLoadingScreen()

event.Event:Wait()

local startScreenFold = workspace:WaitForChild('startScreen')
local mainCam = startScreenFold.mainCam

task.wait(1)

local goals = {
	["Ani1"] = {mainCam.CFrame, startScreenFold.goalOne.CFrame};
	["Ani2"] = {startScreenFold.goalTwoStart.CFrame, startScreenFold.goalTwoEnd.CFrame};
	["Ani3"] = {startScreenFold.goalThreeStart.CFrame, startScreenFold.goalThreeEnd.CFrame};
}

print('starting')

local function setVisible()
	for i, v in pairs(loadingFrame:GetChildren()) do
		for i = 1,20 do
			loadingFrame.Transparency += 0.05
			v.Transparency += 0.05
			task.wait()
		end
		loadingFrame:Destroy()
		task.wait(1)
	end
end

local function tween(goal, dur)
	print('tweening')
	local info = TweenInfo.new(
		dur,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		0,
		false
	)
	
	local goal = {
		CFrame = goal
	}
	
	local tween = tweenService:Create(mainCam, info, goal)
	tween:Play()
	
	tween.Completed:Wait()
end

task.wait(2)

spawn(setVisible)

local cam = workspace.Camera
cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0

coroutine.wrap(function()

	while started == false do
		local speed = 5
		for i, v in pairs(goals) do
			print('setting')
			mainCam.CFrame = v[1]
			print('set')
			tween(v[2], speed)
		end
		task.wait()
	end
	
	task.wait()
end)()

local connection = rn.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	cam.CFrame = mainCam.CFrame
end)

buttons.playButton.MouseButton1Up:Connect(function()
	for i = 1,20 do
		blankFrame.Transparency -= 0.05
		task.wait(0.05)
	end
	
	task.wait(1)
	char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	started = true
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	connection:Disconnect()
	menuFrame:Destroy()
	
	for i = 1,20 do
		blankFrame.Transparency += 0.05
		task.wait(0.05)
	end
	
	script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

wait wheres the game.loaded part?

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

I was about to mention that lol, I’m trying to see if putting a script in replicated first, then waiting for it to load, and then firing an event once it has, will fix it.

[coo1ifyy]

Okay so the script in ReplicatedFirst, loads the game and fires the event?

If so, then that might not be an efficient, don’t do that way.

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

Ok, I’m probably just going to wait like 10 seconds instead of using the game.Loaded:Wait() because it doesn’t seem to work.

[coo1ifyy]

Maybe, just don’t put anything? 10 seconds feels too long.

[Jessehenxe (Henxe)]

Its likely going too be a large map when completed so 10 seconds to be safe.
