Plates are not spawning

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey Devs,

I am trying to make a game like plates of fate/ witching hour, however somehow the code to spawn the plates is not working.

I have tried to re-write the script however it is not working, I have no errors in the output and it was working until I put the event function.

Thank you for reading, here is the code

local GD = game.ReplicatedStorage.GameData
local Assets = game.ServerStorage.Assets
local Folder = game.Workspace.Folder
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Status = GD.Status

local PlayersInGame = {}

local Settings = {
	Intermission = 20,
	PlayersNeeded = 0,
	TimeBetweenEvents = 5,
	RoundInProgress = GD.RoundInProgress
}

local function CalculatePlayers()
	local NumberOfPlayers = #game.Players:GetPlayers()
	return NumberOfPlayers
end

local function Events(player)
	local RandEvent = math.random(1,2)
	local Plate = player.Character:FindFirstChild("PlateValue")
	
	
	if RandEvent == 1 then
		local Shrink = math.random(1,5)
		Status.Value = player.Name.."plate has shrunk by"..Shrink.." studs"
		local ShrinkInfo = TweenInfo.new(
			0.75,
			Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
			Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
			0,
			false,
			0
		) 
		
		local Tween = TweenService:Create(Plate, ShrinkInfo, {Size = Plate.Size - Vector3.new(Shrink, 0, Shrink)}):Play()
	elseif RandEvent == 2 then
		local Grow = math.random(1,5)
		Status.Value = player.Name.."plate has grown by"..Grow.." studs"
		local GrowInfo = TweenInfo.new(
			0.75,
			Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
			Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
			0,
			false,
			0
		) 

		local Tween = TweenService:Create(Plate, GrowInfo, {Size = Plate.Size + Vector3.new(Grow, 0, Grow)}):Play()
		
	end
	
	
	
end

local plates = Assets.Plates:Clone()
plates.Parent = game.Workspace.Folder

while wait() do
	if CalculatePlayers() > Settings.PlayersNeeded then
		for i,v in pairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
			if v then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
		for i = Settings.Intermission,1,-1 do
			Status.Value = "Intermission in "..i.." seconds"
			wait(1)
		end
		Status.Value = "Game is ready to begin"
		Settings.RoundInProgress.Value = true
		wait(5)
		
		for KeyValue, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
			if player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				if player.Character.Humanoid.Health >= 1 then
					table.insert(PlayersInGame, KeyValue, player)
					player.Team = game.Teams.Playing
					for i, v in pairs(plates:GetChildren()) do
						if v.Settings.OwnerOfPlate.Value == "None" and not player.Character:FindFirstChild("PlateValue") then
							v.Settings.OwnerOfPlate.Value = player.Name
							player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = v.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 2, 0)
							local platevalue = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
							platevalue.Parent = player.Character
							platevalue.Value = v
							platevalue.Name = "PlateValue"
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end

		for i, v in pairs(plates:GetChildren()) do
			if v.Settings.OwnerOfPlate.Value == "None" then
				v:Destroy()
			end
		end
		
		wait(5)
		repeat
			if #PlayersInGame >= 1 then
				for i = Settings.TimeBetweenEvents,1,-1 do
					Status.Value = "next event is in "..i.." seconds"
					wait(1)
				end
				local Value = math.random(1, #PlayersInGame)
				local RandPlayer = PlayersInGame[Value]
				
				Events(RandPlayer)
				wait(5)
			else
				for i, v in pairs(PlayersInGame) do 
					table.remove(PlayersInGame, i)
				end
			end

		until Settings.RoundInProgress.Value == false
		
	else
		Status.Value = "Need more players to begin..."
	end
end

Is there only one plate spawning? By a quick look at your code, it looks like the plates clone one time, and that’s it. Or is cloning a model?

#3

No, inside Server storage I have a model containing all the code.

#4 
local plates = Assets.Plates:Clone()
plates.Parent = game.Workspace.Folder

Add these lines into the while loop when the game starts.

#5

Still didn’t work hmm, gonna try and make new code thanks for trying to help though :upside_down_face:
