Weird code error

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So i made a Map Voting system, and there is a local script in every map vote option, everything works fine, except, that i want the title to be:

local choice = variables:WaitForChild("Choice1")
local map = choice.Value
warn(map)

what should happen is that the chosen map for slot 1 gets displayed, it wont be displayed.

and yes ofc i didnt forget a script in server script service:

well, the voting works, but i cant see which map im voting for, please help (and yes if i print the ServerScriptService choice 1 it works

Why do you have two loops for one thing?

#3

there is more then that code going on
its going (the first and second loop) from line 14 to 92

#4

Have you double-checked that the Choice1 is typed correctly within the WaitForChild() then?

#5

yep, its typed correctly, here is the output,
image
(mars is the option 1), (nil is the client print of option 1), (camping is the chosen map, option 2)

#6

Have you tried doing it client-side? since two options are both serverside meaning that If you do put it on a local script It may work.

and here is proof that the map voting thing works:
image
the first “desert” is the map 1
the second is the chosen

#8

Does an error pop up saying

Infinite yield possible on 'variables:WaitForChild("Choice1")'
#9

i mean the local script is already there( in the middle), but if i do like the chosen map stuff, it would kinda work, but i wouldnt see the gui anymore, since voting is already over, but the title should be the chosen map, still not the way i want it to work

#10

no, no error, nothing , thats why im asking you all

#11

Ok if you do want it serverside then use

Game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
to make sure that it is printed on the client.

#12

Sorry, Excuse me i didn’t catch on. it took me so long reply I’m new!

#13

can you run the game (in client) and screenshot where variables folder and Choice1 is located

#14

Its in a folder called “variables” in replicated storage

#15

since there’s not much information provided, just make sure you setted Choice1 Value BEFORE CLIENT.

#16

try this

local choice = variables:WaitForChild('Choice1')
repeat wait() until choice.Value ~= nil
warn(choice.Value)
#17

soon im back in Roblox studio, should i provide the whole code?

#18

the client fires already right after the server script service script^

#19

but is i paste his script inside the local script, it will break
