if maps.ObbyLevels:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model") then
print("model found")
end

Try that to see if you are looking for the correct model, if it does not print, then you are looking for the wrong thing.

#23

there’s only one model in the folder and i know that works because parts in the script reference that same exact area and it works, thanks though

#24

Make an Table, where every user is listed in, and when someone touches the Part, check if the player is already in the table. If not, add the player To the table and do your stuff. At the end of a round, just clear the table

#25

maps are in replicated storage and FinishedPart gets cloned and parented to workspace right?

yes, inside the ObbyLevels folder, FinishedPart inside the map model

#27

So does the variable maps take you to replicated storage or to game.Workspace?
If it takes you to replicated storage, that means that the event is not registered on the correct part. It should register on the part in game.Workspace.

i see, Touched event will fire only if the original one is touched change the code to

local function GameplayCountdown()
	
		countdownV.Value = gameplayTime
		gameStatus.Value = "In game"
		
		local Connection
		
		Connection = FinishedPartClone.Touched:Connect(function() 
			countdownV.Value = countdownV.Value - 10
		end)
		
		while countdownV.Value >= 0 do
			countdownV.Value += -1
			task.wait(1)
		end
		Connection:Disconnect()
	end

maps is a folder in workspace, the path is correct im 100% certain it is

#30

its serverstorage my bad, not replicatedstorage - i dont get it though, why does it work in other sections of my script for other things, and not here?

#31

Do you clone the FinishedPart inside your code?

the map is cloned, which is the model that houses FinishedPart

local map1Clone = SS.LevelStorage.ObbyLevels:FindFirstChild(map1Name):Clone()
			map1Clone.Parent = workspace.MapInGame
			map1Clone:MoveTo(workspace.MapSpawnArea.Position)

works fine, no problems and the touched events for FinishedPart in other sections of my script is also fine with no issues which is weird

#33

local function Countdown()
		print("COUNTDOWN")
		while wait() do
			for i = intermissionTime, 1, -1 do
				gameStarted.Value = false
				wait(1)
				gameStatus.Value = "Intermission" -- can change to something more creative later
				countdownV.Value = i
			end
			task.wait(1)
			GameplayCountdown()
			print("gameplayCountdownCalled")
			--for i = gameplayTime, 1, -1 do
			--	gameStarted.Value = true
			--	wait(1)
			--	countdownV.Value = i
			--	gameStatus.Value = "In game" -- can change to something more creative later
			--end
		end
	end

local function GameplayCountdown()
		print("recGPCOUNT")
		--local connectionDB = false
		--local mapF = maps.ObbyLevels:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model")
		--local finishedPart = mapF:WaitForChild("FinishedPart")
		countdownV.Value = gameplayTime
		gameStatus.Value = "In game"
		
		local Connection
		
		--Connection = maps.ObbyLevels:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").FinishedPart.Touched:Connect(function()
		Connection = maps.ObbyLevels:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Model").TestPart.Touched:Connect(function()
			print("touched countdown")
			--if connectionDB == false then
				--connectionDB = true
				print("countdownAdjust")
				countdownV.Value = countdownV.Value - 10
			--	task.wait(0.05)
				--connectionDB = false
			--end
		end)

This is where the function is called, rest of the script is kind of irrelevant to the problem as the touched event for the same FinishedPart in other sections of the script is fine. I tried some things but everything there didn’t work -

 print("recGPCOUNT")

prints fine, only thing in the function that does

total script is like 400 lines so dont really want to send here

#37

GameplayCountdown() is yielding function which means print() will work after the countdown

after connecting function to the Touched event print(TestPart.Parent)
also maps is a cloned map?

GOT IT WORKING THANK U SO MUCH

#41 
local function Countdown()
		print("COUNTDOWN")
		while wait() do
		gameStarted.Value = false
		gameStatus.Value = "Intermission" -- can change to something more creative later
		for i = 0, intermissionTime do
			countdownV.Value = intermissionTime - i
			task.wait(1)
		end
		task.wait(1)
		GameplayCountdown()
		print("gameplayCountdownCalled")
		--for i = gameplayTime, 1, -1 do
		--	gameStarted.Value = true
		--	wait(1)
		--	countdownV.Value = i
		--	gameStatus.Value = "In game" -- can change to something more creative later
		--end
	end
end

fix the Countdown() function and add print(countdownV.Value) inside GameplayCountdown()
