Value goes down extremely fast

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, does anyone know why the value is going down at like 10 per second instead of just 1?

Script:

local carryon2

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if script.Parent.Value.Value == 0 then
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).gangSystem.isInGang.Value == true then
				script.Parent.Value.Value = 120
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if script.Parent.Value.Value > 0 then
			if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).gangSystem.isInGang.Value == true then
				carryon2 = false
				while true do
					wait(1)
					if carryon2 == false then
						script.Parent.Value.Value -= 1
						if carryon2 == true then
							break
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	carryon2 = true
end)

This simply isn’t the case, nor does it fix anything.

local carryon2

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
if script.Parent.Value.Value == 0 then
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).gangSystem.isInGang.Value == true then
script.Parent.Value.Value = 120
end
end
end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild(“Humanoid”) then
if script.Parent.Value.Value > 0 then
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name).gangSystem.isInGang.Value == true then
carryon2 = false
while true do
wait(1)
if carryon2 == false then
script.Parent.Value.Value -= 1
if carryon2 == true then
break
end
end
end
end
end
end
end)

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
carryon2 = true
end)

add a print after the wait(1) and see how many times it prints to check

#7

use script.parent.touched, not script.parent.touchedended

#8

script.parent.touchedended basically when the player leaves the part, meaning multiple of the other players body parts can enter it, and deduct the value

#9

Exactly, that’s what I’m trying to do. When the player leaves the part, I want it to stop counting. This is not the issue, the issue is, when touched, it goes down too fast…

#10

wait so when they touch it, it slowly deducts, and when they leave it stops

#11

Yes, exactly what I’m trying to do.

#12

luckily im a professional, and the best scripter ever so ill re-type it, your so greatful to have me

#13

Yeah, I highly doubt that but we’ll give it a shot! :grinning:

#14

Joking, please don’t take that seriously.

#15

if i were you i would just experiment with the deduction number, until u get what u want

#16

Yeah, this just isn’t the fix is it…

#17

why not just use i,v and detect the magnitude of the player to the part-

#18

That’s 100x more complicated and more time deducting. I am sticking to this method, there’s literally 1 issue and that’s the wait(1) not working.

#19

for i,v in pairs(game.workspace.players(getchildren())do
if v.HumanoidRootPart.Position.Magnitude.ToPart then
deduct value

#20

I have managed to get it working now.

#27

May I ask what you did to fix it? My best guess is that the while loop was running multiple times.

#31

I replaced the touch event with:

while true do
	wait(1)
	if carryon2 == false then
		script.Parent.Value.Value -= 1
		if carryon2 == true then
			print("err")
		end
	end
end
