So, I’m working on a game loop, and it works fine, till a point. All my scripts inside the loop function fine but when I put them inside a loop it doesn’t seem to work.

Here is my script:
—local winreward = 1
local pointsreward = 100
local Status = game.StarterGui.StatusGUI.StatusLabel.StatusText
local PublicInformation = game.StarterGui.InformationGUI.PublicParent.PublicFrame.PublicLabel

while true do
Status.Text = (“You need 4 players to start!”)
repeat wait(1) until
#game.Players:GetPlayers() >= 1

Status.Text = ("Intermission")
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 0
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower = 0
print("Round starting")

local plrs = {}

for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
	if player then
		table.insert(plrs,player)
	end
end

print("Players table has been created")
wait(2)

Status.Text = ("Introduction")

local AirportSpawn = workspace.Airport:FindFirstChild("AirportSpawnPoints")

local AvailableAirportSpawns = AirportSpawn:GetChildren()

for i, player in pairs(plrs) do 
	if player then
		character = player.Character
		
		if character then
			---teleport player
			character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = AvailableAirportSpawns[1].CFrame
			table.remove(AvailableAirportSpawns, 1)
		else
			---player left/ragequited
			if not player then
				table.remove(plrs, i)
			end	
		end
	end	
end


print("Players have been moved to a spawn") ---only the prints work after this point, but scripts work fine if i remove them from the loop
			
game.StarterGui.InformationGUI.PublicParent.Visible = true
PublicInformation.Text = ("Welcome to PlanetQuest!")
wait(3)
PublicInformation.Text = ("In this competition, we will travel the world, and complete different challenges.")
wait(4)
PublicInformation.Text = ("The last team to arrive will be eliminated.")
wait(3)
PublicInformation.Text = ("Now, before we start, we need to sort you into teams.")
wait(3)
	
print("Introduction: Part 1")
			
					
local spawns = game.Workspace.Airport.AirportSpawnPoints:GetChildren()
		
for i, spawn in pairs(spawns) do
  spawn.AllowTeamChangeOnTouch = true
end
wait(0.5)
		
local spawns = game.Workspace.Airport.AirportSpawnPoints:GetChildren()
		
for _, spawn in pairs(spawns) do
  spawn.AllowTeamChangeOnTouch = false
end
print("Introduction: Part 2")
	
PublicInformation.Text = ("Now, that we are ready, lets begin PlanetQuest!")
wait(3)
PublicInformation.Text = ("Ready.....")
wait(1.5)
PublicInformation.Text = ("GO!!!")

game.StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower = 50
game.StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed = 16

print("Competition starting")

end

I’m very new to scripting, so if I made any mistake, could you please let me know. Thanks!

You shouldn’t change the GUI’s in the StarterGui as they are replicated to the client. You can access the client’s GUI via PlayerGui.
