Problem with ends

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:05pm

I am trying to make a round system from a tutorial, and ended up adding new code to have players spawn at random spawn locations instead of 1 single place. My problem is these 3 ends after. It won’t go on the the part where it updates the status value because it ends prematurely. How can I change this?

local roundlength = 1

local inround = game.ReplicatedStorage.Inround
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

inround.Changed:Connect(function()
	
	if inround.Value == true then
		
		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local spawns = workspace.Map.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #spawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = spawns[num].CFrame
		end
		
	else
		
		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local LobbySpawns = workspace.Lobby.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #LobbySpawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = LobbySpawns[num].CFrame
		
		
	end
	
end

end)



local function Round()
	
	while true do
		
		inround.Value = false
		
		for i = intermission,0,-1 do
			
			
			status = "Game will start in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end
		
		inround.Value = true
		for i = roundlength,0,-1 do


			status = "Game will end in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end
		
		
	end
	
	
end

spawn(Round)```

Could you explain a little more in detail what you’re trying to achieve? Thanks in advance!

pumpkyrofl · August 25, 2022, 7:19pm

maybe this is the issue?

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:19pm

everything after

in this script is supposed to change the game status which is tied to a textlabel. It never gets to that point though because I have these here

which tells it to end before it can get to that section and thusly the status never changes, the round system itself functions but the text does not update and count down

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:20pm

It’s spelled correctly and it is lowercase, I don’t see anything that indicates it’s a problem

pumpkyrofl · August 25, 2022, 7:21pm

theres no “intermission” in the script, i checked using Find

TiitusMaster · August 25, 2022, 7:21pm

I set it up and the intermission is not a valid variable.

pumpkyrofl · August 25, 2022, 7:22pm

i hope this works now

local roundlength = 1
local intermission = 1
local inround = game.ReplicatedStorage.Inround
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

inround.Changed:Connect(function()

	if inround.Value == true then

		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local spawns = workspace.Map.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #spawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = spawns[num].CFrame
		end

	else

		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local LobbySpawns = workspace.Lobby.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #LobbySpawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = LobbySpawns[num].CFrame


		end
	end
end)
function Round()

	while true do

		inround.Value = false

		for i = intermission,0,-1 do


			status = "Game will start in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end

		inround.Value = true
		for i = roundlength,0,-1 do


			status = "Game will end in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end


	end


end

spawn(Round)

devforum glitched the code a bit, fixed it.

Danielhoteaale · August 25, 2022, 7:24pm

It kinda hurts my eyes since i’m used to my way of organizing scripts but I believe it could be since your game length is set to 1 second?

local roundlength = 1

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:24pm

I tried this, still no errors and yet again the rounds themselves work but the text doesn’t change

TiitusMaster · August 25, 2022, 7:25pm

Figured it out but I am not quite sure if I could be wrong.

Change “intermission” to the roundlength variable and see if that works.

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:25pm

I tried that to speed up the testing process just to see if I would teleport back and forth. It doesn’t work no matter what I set them to

Danielhoteaale · August 25, 2022, 7:27pm

Maybe if you sent us the whole thing we could figure it out? Just by taking a glance at the code I can’t really seem to figure out what’s wrong besides the fact that intermission is not defined.

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:27pm

There’s only one place I could do that, tried it and nothing changed aside from how long it waits, no fixes to the text

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:28pm

What do you mean the whole thing? Like the place?

Danielhoteaale · August 25, 2022, 7:28pm

Well, whole place would be great, but I mean just some screenshots of the workspace or anything that the script could be linked to.

Scottifly · August 25, 2022, 7:30pm

What does spawn(round) do? I’m not a pro so I’m not familiar with how spawn fires.
Does it only fire once? If it only fires the one time then the round function only fires once.

shipleydog2 · August 25, 2022, 7:31pm

This is the text i’m trying to change

It has a localscript inside of it that looks like this so it updates when the status value changes


text.Text = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status.Value

game.ReplicatedStorage.Status.Changed:Connect(function()
	
	text.Text = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status.Value
	
end)```

pumpkyrofl · August 25, 2022, 7:32pm

lol i think i know the error, really simple.

local roundlength = 1
local intermission = 1
local inround = game.ReplicatedStorage.Inround
local status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status

inround.Changed:Connect(function()

	if inround.Value == true then

		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local spawns = workspace.Map.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #spawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = spawns[num].CFrame
		end

	else

		task.wait(1) -- Can be removed later


		local Players = game:GetService("Players")

		local LobbySpawns = workspace.Lobby.Spawns:GetChildren()
		local plrList = Players:GetPlayers()

		task.wait(2) -- Can be removed later

		for _, plr in pairs(plrList) do
			local num = math.random(1, #LobbySpawns)
			local rootPart = plr.Character.HumanoidRootPart
			print(plr)

			rootPart.CFrame = LobbySpawns[num].CFrame


		end
	end
end)
function Round()

	while true do

		inround.Value = false

		for i = intermission,0,-1 do


			status.Value = "Game will start in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end

		inround.Value = true
		for i = roundlength,0,-1 do


			status.Value = "Game will end in "..i.." seconds!"
			wait(1)
		end


	end


end

spawn(Round)
