No output, no errors?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Nothing simply happens in the script and all I want is a visual way to represent the timers. It mostly should have 0 issues and it doesnt seem to show anything, no number change or anything.

TimerTextLabel Code:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local timer = require(ReplicatedStorage.TimerModule):Create('LongJumpTimer')

ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Event:Connect(function(startValue)
	local params = {
		Start = startValue,
		IntervalDuration = 1,
		Separator ="",
		Separators = ":",
		Countdown = true,
		Target = 0,			
	}

	timer:SetTickSound(4843088994)		

	for i,v in pairs(game:GetDescendants()) do
		if v.Name == "LongJumpTL" then
			if v:GetAttribute('Timer') == true then
				timer:SetUI(v)
				break
			end
		end
	end
end)

Visual Timer Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local leftFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("LeftBG"):WaitForChild("LeftFrame")
local rightFrame = script.Parent:WaitForChild("RightBG"):WaitForChild("RightFrame")

ReplicatedStorage.Timer.Event:Connect(function(startValue)
	local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local ti = TweenInfo.new(startValue, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

	local numValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")


	numValue.Changed:Connect(function()


		local rightRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - 180, -180, 0)

		rightFrame.Rotation = rightRot


		if numValue.Value <= 180 then

			leftFrame.Visible = false


		else

			local leftRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - 360, -180, 0)

			leftFrame.Rotation = leftRot

			leftFrame.Visible = true
		end
	end)


	local function progressBar()

		numValue.Value = 0

		local progressTween = ts:Create(numValue, ti, {Value = 360})
		progressTween:Play()
	end


	progressBar()
end)

The script that is supposed to start it:

task.wait(5)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer:Fire(5)

Since we don’t have much of a starting point to look for the error, can you please place print() statements throughout the script, at several different points, so you can narrow down where it breaks

sure! I’ll let you know when ive placed them.

Alright, so I remade the script from scratch and still nothing. I decided to use a remote function but I don’t know if thats right.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

function NewTimer()
	local Timer = script.CircleTimer:Clone()
	Timer.Parent = script.Parent.TimerHolder
	
	return Timer
end

function StartTimer(startValue)
	
	local Timer = NewTimer()
	
	local TextLabel = Timer.Timer
	
	for i=0, startValue, 1 do
		task.wait(1)
		TextLabel.Text = i
	end
	
	local leftFrame = Timer:WaitForChild("LeftBG"):WaitForChild("LeftFrame")
	local rightFrame = Timer:WaitForChild("RightBG"):WaitForChild("RightFrame")
	
	local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
	local ti = TweenInfo.new(startValue, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)

	local numValue = Instance.new("NumberValue")


	numValue.Changed:Connect(function()

		local rightRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - 180, -180, 0)

		rightFrame.Rotation = rightRot


		if numValue.Value <= 180 then
			leftFrame.Visible = false
		else

			local leftRot = math.clamp(numValue.Value - 360, -180, 0)
			leftFrame.Rotation = leftRot
			leftFrame.Visible = true
		end
	end)

	local function progressBar()

		numValue.Value = 0

		local progressTween = ts:Create(numValue, ti, {Value = 360})
		progressTween:Play()
	end
	
	progressBar()
end

ReplicatedStorage.Timer.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(startValue)
	StartTimer(startValue)
end)
5

add some print statements as mentioned earlier

I managed to fix it! I just had to make it more neater. Thank you for helping me troubleshoot it as well!
