Weird Execution Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1 
-- these 3 lines will be wrapped in a event
print("HELLO")
task.wait(9.5)
print("Hello AGain")

while true do
-- do stuff
task.wait()
end

so my script is sorta like this and it prints “HELLO” but never prints hello again could it be because the executer is only focused on the task.wait() loop? i dont know why it doesnt print hello again. this is local script btw.
For my solution, well to see what happens, I did this:

		print("its true")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(1)
		print("yes")
		task.wait(.5)
		print("yes")
		print("i am doing it")

It prints yes 3 times and then just randomly stops… My event is a .changed event for a bool value. Im pretty sure it does not switch while the task.wait(9.5) stuff is happening.

I did some more testing, and it seems that it arbitrarily stops. Sometimes it stops when it prints 3 yes’, sometimes it stopes when it prints 5, etc.

Paste the whole code. Nobody can help you without context.

it never prints “oml”… Only prints “I am true”

its asking me for 30 more characters so that’s why I typed jibberish

#6

Where is this script located? Could it be that something is destroying the script while its waiting?

#7

its a local script. also there is no possible way the script is being deleted because the task.wait() loop is still running. Its located in starter player scripts.

#8

What happens when you use wait(9.5) instead of task.wait(9.5)?

#9

nothing changes. It still randomly stops and doesn’t follow through the entire line.

#10

The thread is completely killed if the script (or should I say, LuaSourceContainer) is destroyed (not parented to nil, but Instance:Destroy()). It doesn’t matter if you have a loop or not

#11

Exactly. If the script was really killed then the loop in the script shouldn’t be continuing to be iterated.

#12

Can you please put a while loop at the end of your script? Make it print something out every second. It shouldn’t interfere with the script too much. If it stops printing it out during the task.wait() thing, then the script is being destroyed

e.g.

while wait(1) do
    print("Cycled")
end

edit: Is there already a loop that continues?

edit2: Apparently yes, there is a loop. Can you try replacing the 9.5 in the task loop with a whole number?

( @3DesignD)

#13

yep, I put a print in there and its iterating

#14

Honestly, just disregard what I said. it would make no difference

edit: Does this post here help at all: Task.wait() not working - #15 by SussyImpastaFromSus

#15

To see if something is happening like it is in the link i posted above, it may be restarting the script completely.
Can you please try putting a print() statement at the very start of the script, so you can see if it restarts?

#16

YES! it prints restart twice just a few seconds after it prints “its true”

#17

well, actually once before it, and then a few second afterwards then another one after it prints “its true”. that’s what I meant by twice.

#18

From reading the post, I think I know a solution that may work. give me a second…

#19

your an absolute life saver dude. I should have done more research on it instead of just posting a forum.

Edit: btw it fixed now. that took a couple hours.

#20

so in my game, when you spawn in as a monster I have to put a model in starter character really quickly and :load the character. I never knew that local scripts reset when the player dies. Really good knowledge for the road ahead. I haven’t encountered a grueling bug like this in quite a while.
