Repeat & until problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

when the roundlength is going to zero the until is not working

repeat
		roundLength.Value = roundLength.Value - 1
		timer.Value = ""..roundLength.Value
		wait(1)
	until
	roundLength.Value == 0 and roundType == "Life"
#2 
repeat
	roundLength.Value -= 1
	timer.Value = tostring(roundLength.Value)
	task.wait(1)
until roundLength.Value == 0 and roundType == "Life"
#3

roundtype is not a value

local roundType = ""
#4

Alright, I’ve removed it, try the edit.

#5

You’d need to make sure its value is set to “Life” before the repeat loop runs.

Just to clarify is “timer” a “StringValue” instance?

#6

yes it is a string value thats for the gui

#7

Okay, then the script should work. Add a print afterwards to confirm.

#8

Best to do is this because “repeat wait() until” stops everything under the code until its complete.

while task.wait(1) do
    if roundLength.Value ~= 0 and roundType ~= "Life" then
      roundLength.Value = roundLength.Value - 1
	timer.Value = ""..roundLength.Value
   elseif roundLength.Value == 0 and roundType == "Life" then
    -- // If its done then do whatever u wanted to do here.
   end
end

If you don’t want it in a loop you can do this

local TimerEnded = false

if TimerEnded ~= false then
      -- // If its done then do whatever u wanted to do here.
end

while task.wait(1) do
    if roundLength.Value ~= 0 and roundType ~= "Life" then
      roundLength.Value = roundLength.Value - 1
	timer.Value = ""..roundLength.Value
   elseif roundLength.Value == 0 and roundType == "Life" then
      TimerEnded = true
   end
end

I think your issue was just the indentation of “repeat” and “until”.

#10

Sometimes it’s necessary to yield for some period of time before resuming. You can still add additional instructions inside the repeat until loop.

#11

i tried urs it didnt work btw my main problem also is the roundlength he will run until negative

#12

There’s nothing wrong with the script I provided so it must be something to do with the script itself, would you mind sharing it?

#13

Actually if it is going to negatives then "roundType == “Life” this part of the conditional statement isn’t coming out as true, meaning the repeat until loop will run indefinitely.

repeat
	roundLength.Value -= 1
	timer.Value = tostring(roundLength.Value)
	task.wait(1)
until roundLength.Value <= 0 and roundType == "Life"
#14

it gives me this error
attempt to compare string <= number

#15

Just edited, I forgot we cant do wait things on Heartbeat. I changed it to while wait.
Maybe this give a go and see if it works?

If it doesn’t then I think its best that @Limited_Unique to help with this.

#16

That means “roundLength” is a “StringValue” instance.

repeat
	roundLength.Value -= 1
	timer.Value = tostring(roundLength.Value)
	task.wait(1)
until tonumber(roundLength.Value) <= 0 and roundType == "Life"
#17

sorry but i need to use the repeat loops

#18

Shouldn’t roundLength be a NumberValue or IntValue?

Yes change it to NumberValue and it should fix your issue.

#20
