What am I doing wrong with this rain script?

Put the module anywhere you want I believe, I recommend putting it in ReplicatedStorage and changing that line to

rainmod = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Rain)

It works now, but would the rain only run for the local player? I want it to run for the whole server, if that’s possible.

#17

It would run for each player if done like this, meaning every player is going to see the rain since they each have the rain script

If I set the math.random to something else, would each player get a different number?

#19

Yea that’s the only thing that’s a problem, each will see different rain basically, you’d have to find a way to make it the same for everyone

Do you know a way I could possibly accomplish that?

#21

You could put an intvalue in replicated storage. Have a server script change the int value and have the local scripts reference that value.

#22

The issue with that is that all 3 of those statements have different waits, so he’d probably have to make it wait the longest it would be before rain changes, maybe every 65 seconds the value changes to be safe

#23

Would setting all the waits to the same thing make it work better? (The waits differences aren’t neccessary)

#24

If you want, if you made all of them 60 for example, you could make the wait in the server change the value randomly every 60.1 seconds to make sure it’s randomized before the clients can reference it

Like this?

while wait() do

local num = math.random(0,12)

script.Parent.Value = num

wait(60.1)

end

(sorry about formatting)

#26 
while true do

local num = math.random(0,12)

script.Parent.Value = num

wait(60.1)

end

I recommend putting the BaseValue itself i nReplicatedStorage, where you put the rain module too, and make the local scripts get that value from ReplicatedStorage and use that

The script would still be in the value, correct?

#28

Put the value with the randomized number in ReplicatedStorage, and change that code to reference it and the localscripts to reference it as well

#29

I put a print statement in the script (in the value), but it doesn’t run at all?

while wait() do
	local num = math.random(0,12)
	print(num)
	script.Parent.Value = num
	wait(60.1)
end
LocalScript: 
rainmod = require(game.ReplicatedStorage.Rain)
rainmod:Disable()

while wait() do
	local num = game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.RainValue

	if num == 0 then
		rainmod:SetTransparency(0)
		rainmod:SetSpeedRatio(1)
		rainmod:SetIntensityRatio(1)
		rainmod:Enable()
		wait(60)
		rainmod:Disable()
	elseif num == 6 then
		rainmod:SetTransparency(0.8)
		rainmod:SetSpeedRatio(0.4)
		rainmod:SetIntensityRatio(0.4)
		rainmod:Enable()
		wait(60)
		rainmod:Disable()
	elseif num == 12 then
		rainmod:SetTransparency(0.8)
		rainmod:SetSpeedRatio(1)
		rainmod:SetIntensityRatio(0.1)
		rainmod:Enable()
		wait(60)
		rainmod:Disable()
	end
end

Your issue is that if it’s not 0, 6, or 12, it wont rain. So the rain wont happen. Also, change script.Parent.Value to the location of the value itself, so

game.ReplicatedStorage.Values.RainValue.Value = num

#31

Wouldn’t the print statement still run, and print the number? It’s not printing at the moment.

#32

Ohh, where did you put that script? also again, while true do, not while wait() do in this case,

#33

The script is inside the value, should I change it?

#34

Put it in ServerScriptService and do the changes I mentioned
