Script output not showing any errors but script not working correctly?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi everyone.

So the issue is that the script output shows no errors when executed, but yet a part of the script is not working. I cannot seem to find out why and have been trying to figure out myself by messing around with it, but it’s no use.
When the player’s TeamColor is “Bright blue” and the player walks into the region, the region part does not change to a blue color or tween. However, I know the script itself is working because this function is the first called in a series of functions including a function that adds points, and the points are being added. If any more information is needed, then I’d gladly provide it.

Here’s the code:

function regionVisualEffect()
	game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		if Player.TeamColor == "Bright blue" then
		regionVisual.Transparency = 0
		regionVisual.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255)
		tween:Create(regionVisual,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9}):Play()
		elseif #playerInBounds > 1 then
		regionVisual.Transparency = 0
		regionVisual.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
		tween:Create(regionVisual,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9}):Play()
		end
	end)
end

do you define regionVisual and regionVisual’s parent?

Yes, the part I showed is just a small part of a larger code written in a script. If I replace ‘Player.TeamColor == “Bright blue”’ with ‘#playerInBounds == 1’, it works perfect. Not sure why it isn’t working with the first part.

if you send the script i can fix it

#5 
local point1 = script.Parent.Parent.CapturePoints.Point1
local point2 = script.Parent.Parent.CapturePoints.Point2

point1.Transparency = 1
point2.Transparency = 1

local region = Region3.new(point1.Position,point2.Position)

local regionVisual = Instance.new("Part")
regionVisual.Size = region.Size
regionVisual.CFrame = region.CFrame
regionVisual.Anchored = true
regionVisual.CanCollide = false
regionVisual.Transparency = .9
regionVisual.Material = Enum.Material.ForceField
regionVisual.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
regionVisual.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
regionVisual.Parent = script.Parent.Parent.CapturePoints

local ignoreList = {point1,point2,regionVisual}
local playerInBounds = {}
local tween = game:GetService("TweenService")

function checkForNewPlayers()
	for _,part in ipairs(partsInRegion) do
		local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent)
		if player then
			if not table.find(playerInBounds,player) then
				if player.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
					table.insert(playerInBounds,player)
				end
			end
		end
	end
end

function removeOldPlayers()
	for playerIndex,player in ipairs (playerInBounds) do
		for partIndex,part in ipairs (partsInRegion) do
			if player == game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) then
				if player.Character.Humanoid.Health > 0 then
					break
				else
					table.remove(playerInBounds,playerIndex)
					break
				end

			elseif partIndex == #partsInRegion then
				table.remove(playerInBounds,playerIndex)
			end
		end
	end
end

function addPoints()
	if #playerInBounds == 1 then
		local points = playerInBounds[1].leaderstats.Points
		points.Value = points.Value + 1
	end
end


function regionVisualEffect()
	game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
		if Player.TeamColor == "Bright blue" then
		regionVisual.Transparency = 0
		regionVisual.Color = Color3.fromRGB(0,0,255)
		tween:Create(regionVisual,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9}):Play()
		elseif #playerInBounds > 1 then
		regionVisual.Transparency = 0
		regionVisual.Color = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
		tween:Create(regionVisual,TweenInfo.new(1),{Transparency = .9}):Play()
		end
	end)
end

while wait(1) do
	partsInRegion = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithIgnoreList(region,ignoreList,math.huge)
	removeOldPlayers()
	checkForNewPlayers()
	addPoints()
	regionVisualEffect()
end

wait so can you explain exactly what you want to script to do?

So basically the script uses region3 to tell whether or not players are in the given part. The issue is the function regionVisualEffect() because the region visual effect is not working despite no errors occurring. If I replace ‘if Player.TeamColor == “Bright blue” then’ with ‘if #playerInBounds == 1 then’, the script works perfectly and shows the region visual effect. I don’t understand why the visual effect is not showing if I replace the latter with Player.TeamColor == “Bright blue”.

Maybe it does not solve the problem but I would recommend using Print () in specific places to see how far the code goes and with the same print () see the values ​​of the variables with that you will see how far the code goes and have an idea of ​​how to repair it

since the only one who knows the purpose and functions of each variable is you and since it is not a “generic” script it is hard to understand

to check what players are in a region3, do this:

local parts = workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithIgnoreList(region, ignoreList)
for _, v in pairs(parts) do
local humanoid = v:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") or v.Parent:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model"):FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
local player = humanoid and game:GetService("Players"):GetPlayerFromCharacter(humanoid.Parent)
if player and not alreadyCounted[player.UserId] then
alreadyCounted[player.UserId] = true
player.leaderstats.Points.Value = player.leaderstats.Points.Value + 1
end
end
