Hello, this doesn’t seem to want to start running, also any tips to making it perform better would be awesomee

while MinigameActive == true do
	startGame()
end

For those who want to help optimize I can send you the client sided.

Probably because MinigameActive isn’t true

#3

But I change it to true down below

#4

Because its already ran and when it gets changed to true it won’t run again

Just change it to

while true do
  if MinigameActive == true then
    startGame()
  end
  wait()
end

So it checks if its true every interval, since if its not true when the while MinigameActive == true do is ran it will just ignore it and won’t check again.

I thought it would keep checking until then! Thank you!

A question, all the waits I add don’t slow down the damage or explosions (when the explosions were on) they like skip over them
