Why is this happening?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so i have this code:

local HumanoidRootPart = script.Parent

local Time = script.Time

HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
print("anchored")
wait(Time.Value)
print(Time.Value)
print("unanchored")
HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
script:Destroy()

in my script it was suposed to be for 5 seconds, it even printed the time.value to 5, but i don’t know why it gets deleted after 0.2 or 0.1 seconds i really don’t get it

#2

Make sure you didn’t accidently set it to .5

#3

some other scripts that calls the first one:

local StayInAir = function(character, seconds)
	local HumanoidRootPart = character.HumanoidRootPart
	local StayInAirScript = game.ServerStorage.Katana.StayInAirScript:Clone()
	if HumanoidRootPart:FindFirstChild("StayInAirScript")then
		HumanoidRootPart.StayInAirScript:Destroy()
	end
	StayInAirScript.Parent = HumanoidRootPart
	StayInAirScript.Time.Value = seconds
end

Launch.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr)
	local CanAttack = plr.CombatRelated.CanPerformAttack
	CanAttack.Value = false
	local weapon = script.Parent
	local TInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
	local hum = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(plr.Name).Humanoid
	local Tween = TS:Create(hum.Parent.HumanoidRootPart, TInfo, {CFrame = hum.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0,10,0))})
	local Static = TS:Create(hum.Parent.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(0.2), {CFrame = hum.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame})
	module.DoLaunchDamage(plr)
	Tween:Play()
	wait(0.4)
	StayInAir(hum.parent, 5)
end)

Have you tried simply doing wait(5)?

#6

i need it to be a variable value because i will use it many times with other values

#7

i also tried to do wait (10) and it worked perfectly

#8

how about local Time = 5?

#9

i can’t change that from another script :frowning:

#10

Is it a serverside or local script?

#11

it’s a server side script
30 chars

#12

And I assume the Time value is an IntValue?
Because you can’t wait(String)

#13

nope, it’s a number value, sorry for forgetting to say that

#15

nope, look

#16

Try changing it to an IntValue, and see what happens
Edit: Has anything happend yet?

#17

i need it to be a number value tough because in some cases i would need very fast anchored times

#18

Well, it can hold negative numbers, so you can go pretty fast with an IntValue. Just try.

#19

oh
lol
solved it
it’s still a number value but now it isn’t inside the script anymore
30 characters

#20

It was that simple? You forgot to put it in the script?

#21

no, it was in the script but it was bugged out so i put it aside the script like the script goes in HumanoidRootPart and Time also there and i reffer to Time by script.Parent.Time
