Why isn't this working?

I am currently trying to mess with my music player and make it tell you the progress of the current song playing, however this does not seem to work. The only error I am getting is the hoursprogress is nil, which is most likely why it is not working but I’m sure theres other errors here that I would get if it wasn’t nil.

I also don’t think my rounding is correct.

Any help is appreciated.

while true do
	wait(0.1)
	
	local unroundedhoursprogress = workspace:WaitForChild("MusicPlayer").TimePosition / 3600
	local unroundedhoursfinish = workspace:WaitForChild("MusicPlayer").TimeLength / 3600
	
	local hoursprogress = round(unroundedhoursprogress)
	local hoursfinish = round(unroundedhoursfinish)
	
	local unroundedminutesprogress = hoursprogress - unroundedhoursprogress * 60
	local unroundedminutesfinish = hoursfinish - unroundedhoursfinish * 60
	
	local minutesprogress = round(unroundedhoursprogress)
	local minutesfinish = round(unroundedhoursfinish)
	
	local unroundedsecondsprogress = minutesprogress - unroundedminutesprogress * 60
	local unroundedsecondsfinish = minutesfinish - unroundedminutesfinish * 60
	
	local secondsprogress = round(unroundedsecondsprogress)
	local secondsfinish = round(unroundedsecondsfinish)
	
	
	script.Parent.Text = tostring(minutesprogress)..":".. tostring(secondsprogress) "/".. tostring(minutesfinish)..":".. tostring(secondsfinish)
end

function round(num)
    return math.floor(num + 0.5)
end

Is round a function you made earlier in this code?

What do you mean by this? 30ch

In round(unroundedhoursprogress) line did you create a function named round earlier in this code or this is the entire code?

5

The round is below the while true do function.

This is the full code.

You need to create the function before the loop.

I tried this, still the same error.

Actually the same error but for a different thing

I’m pretty sure math.floor rounds it for you. I don’t think you need to add the 0.5 at the end

You forgot to add a concat operator between tostring(secondsprogress) and “/” in script.Parent.Text = tostring(minutesprogress)..":".. tostring(secondsprogress) "/".. tostring(minutesfinish)..":".. tostring(secondsfinish).

Thanks! This fixed the issue with nil. Now for some reason it’s not showing the minutes.
