basically i’m making a round leaderboard end system and if i dare put a task.wait() the entire script completely stops. not to mention it also removes all the clones when the player dies regardless of what resetonspawn is set to
here is my script:
UIEvents.LeaderboardRoundEnd.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(data)
if data ~= nil then
for Name, Points in pairs(data) do
RoundLeaderboard.Main.Visible = true
local New = RoundLeaderboardTemplate:Clone()
New.Parent = RoundLeaderboard.Main.ScrollingFrame
New.LayoutOrder = Points * -1
New.Name = Name
New.PlayerName.Text = Name
New.Points.Text = tostring(Points)
local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Name), Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100)
New.Avatar.Image = content
task.wait(5)
New:Destroy()
RoundLeaderboard.Main.Visible = false
end
else
warn("Data is nil; Game continues")
end
end)
thanks if u can help i’ve been trying to fix bugs with this system all day lol
Its not that your entire script stops, its that you are causing your loop to yield for 5 seconds before resuming. This means that each time you loop at least 5 seconds must pass; this is why your script seems to stop. Instead, you should offload the wait into a new thread, so you don’t yield the main thread. Luckily, the task library has this covered for you already with task.delay. It will look like this instead:
UIEvents.LeaderboardRoundEnd.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(data)
if data ~= nil then
for Name, Points in pairs(data) do
RoundLeaderboard.Main.Visible = true
local New = RoundLeaderboardTemplate:Clone()
New.Parent = RoundLeaderboard.Main.ScrollingFrame
New.LayoutOrder = Points * -1
New.Name = Name
New.PlayerName.Text = Name
New.Points.Text = tostring(Points)
local content, isReady = Players:GetUserThumbnailAsync(Players:GetUserIdFromNameAsync(Name), Enum.ThumbnailType.HeadShot, Enum.ThumbnailSize.Size100x100)
New.Avatar.Image = content
task.delay(5, function()
New:Destroy()
RoundLeaderboard.Main.Visible = false
end)
end
else
warn("Data is nil; Game continues")
end
end)
local SharedPointsTable = require(ServerStorage.Modules.RoundModules.Tables.UniversalPointsTable) -- // Although it's only used in this script; I have had ideas in the past that I might incorporate in future updates that requires other scripts, So i'm just planning ahead of time.
AddPointEvent.Event:Connect(function(Player : Player, AmountOfPoints : number)
if Player then
SharedPointsTable[Player.Name] = (SharedPointsTable[Player.Name] or 0) + AmountOfPoints
UpdatePlayerGUI:FireClient(Player, SharedPointsTable)
print(SharedPointsTable)
end
end)
BindableRoundEnding.Event:Connect(function()
if SharedPointsTable ~= {} then
print(SharedPointsTable)
EndRoundGUI:FireAllClients(SharedPointsTable)
table.clear(SharedPointsTable); SharedPointsTable = {}
print("Successfully Ended!")
end
end)
There is more but it consists of just defining things
-- // Services
local ServerStorage = game:GetService("ServerStorage")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-- // Events Folders
local EventFolderClient = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")
local EventsFolderServer = ServerStorage:WaitForChild("PrivateEvents")
-- // Events
local AddPointEvent = EventsFolderServer.AddPoint -- // Add Points via Server (Nobody trusts the client)
local UpdatePlayerGUI = EventFolderClient.UI_Events.AddPointGUI -- // Updates the GUI when a new point is added!
local BindableRoundEnding = ServerStorage.PrivateEvents.RoundEnding -- // So this script knows the game ends!
local EndRoundGUI = EventFolderClient.UI_Events.LeaderboardRoundEnd -- // Displays the leaderboard when the round ends
-- // Everything Else
local SharedPointsTable = require(ServerStorage.Modules.RoundModules.Tables.UniversalPointsTable) -- // Although it's only used in this script; I have had ideas in the past that I might incorporate in future updates that requires other scripts, So i'm just planning ahead of time.
AddPointEvent.Event:Connect(function(Player : Player, AmountOfPoints : number)
if Player then
SharedPointsTable[Player.Name] = (SharedPointsTable[Player.Name] or 0) + AmountOfPoints
UpdatePlayerGUI:FireClient(Player, SharedPointsTable)
print(SharedPointsTable)
end
end)
BindableRoundEnding.Event:Connect(function()
if SharedPointsTable ~= {} then
print(SharedPointsTable)
EndRoundGUI:FireAllClients(SharedPointsTable)
table.clear(SharedPointsTable); SharedPointsTable = {}
print("Successfully Ended!")
end
end)
You mean end round? I don’t see how addpoint is necessary but i might be wrong, as there are other minigames there are different methods of adding them but all of them just fire a bindable event.
Here is end-round tho
local FolderValue = FoundMap:WaitForChild("Data")
if FolderValue then
local timeValue = FolderValue:FindFirstChild("Time")
for i = timeValue.Value, 1, -1 do
local res = EndRound.CheckPlayers(FoundMap, SharedPlayerTable)
StatusValue.Value = "GAME TIME: " .. i
if res == true then
print("<<< SERVER INFO: >>> Sending signal to signal end round")
StatusValue.Value = "Ending Round"
break
end
task.wait(1)
end
end
ServerStorage.PrivateEvents.RoundEnding:Fire()
EndRound.EndRound(FoundMap, SharedPlayerTable)
(didn’t mean to mark as solution just tabbed in oops)
Again, That doesn’t change anything, The same issue is still happening where the frame literally closes after a fraction of a second!
I should clear up that Players is playservice! Also I don’t see how that changes it as you can still see the player thumbnail for a split second before it closes!
