Just yesterday my game worked fine. Today, whenever I test the game, it freezes for like 2 minutes and gives a load of “Script timeout: exhausted allowed execution time” errors.
After a bit of searching, it turns out every single wait(number) function in my game is freezing the game and giving that area.
How do I fix this?
What is your script?
Wait should help prevent the error, not cause it.
Can you show your code? We can’t help if you can’t show where the problem is.
It’s every single piece of code in my game, it would take hours for me to copy & paste all the code here.
Nevermind the above. Instead, try restarting studio and see if that does anything.
It’s still happening after I restarted
Make sure that the task.wait()/wait() function is inside any while loop/repeat until loop blocks. It’s okay not using wait() on for loops unless they’re used too frequently.
Example:
-- This is what you should do to prevent script exhaustion
while true do
for i, v in pairs(units) do
if i % math.floor(#units/4) then
task.wait()
end
end
task.wait()
end
-- This is what you SHOULDN'T do to prevent script exhaustion
while true do
for i, v in pairs(units) do
task.wait()
end
-- no wait, so this script could get exhausted
end
its cuz the script is running too fast causing it to just stop. you should make number a higher number possibly or simplify the code itself
Make sure you have a wait, task.wait, etc in any loops. (While, for, repeat, etc)
