{UNANSWERED} WHY IS MY SCRIPT GLITCHING? {UNANSWERED}

Asked 53 views1 answers

I'm experimenting with Local Parts but I've come across a problem, when I test with Player1 and have that name in permissions it runs both parts of the script even the part after

elseif Player.Name ~= v then

so if I'm in the list It creates both parts, if I'm not it only creates the second part after

elseif Player.Name ~= v then

I don't know why this is, please help me! This is my script:

local bin = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
Permission = {"Player1","UndiscoveredLimited"}
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if bin == nil then
    bin = Instance.new("Camera")
    bin.Name = "LocalBin"
    bin.Parent = game.Workspace
end

for i=1,#Permission do
	if Player.Name == Permission[i] then
		part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
		part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
		part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,2,2)
		part1.Position = Vector3.new(6,5,5)
		part1.Anchored = true
	elseif Player.Name ~= Permission[i] then
		part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
		part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
		part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,6,2)
		part1.Position = Vector3.new(3,10,1)
		part1.Anchored = true
	end
end

Your issue is that you're looping through every string in "Permission," therefore your script is running twice. Once for Player1, and once for UndiscoveredLimited. When it's running for Player1 and you're logged in as Player1, it runs the first section. When it's running for UndiscoveredLimited and you're logged in as Player1, it runs the second section, because UndiscoverdLimited ~= Player1. Try something like this:

local bin = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
Permission = {"Player1","UndiscoveredLimited"}
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if bin == nil then
    bin = Instance.new("Camera")
    bin.Name = "LocalBin"
    bin.Parent = game.Workspace
end

for i=1,#Permission do
    if Player.Name == Permission[1] then --first string in 'Permission'
        part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
        part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
        part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,2,2)
        part1.Position = Vector3.new(6,5,5)
        part1.Anchored = true
    elseif Player.Name == Permission[2] then --second string in 'Permission'
        part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
        part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
        part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,6,2)
        part1.Position = Vector3.new(3,10,1)
        part1.Anchored = true
    end
end

If you want to give permission to individual players as it seems you are doing, you might as well just drop the table.

local bin = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("LocalBin")
--nothing here
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if bin == nil then
    bin = Instance.new("Camera")
    bin.Name = "LocalBin"
    bin.Parent = game.Workspace
end

for i=1,#Permission do
    if Player.Name == "Player1" --here
        part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
        part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
        part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,2,2)
        part1.Position = Vector3.new(6,5,5)
        part1.Anchored = true
    elseif Player.Name == "Player2" then --and here
        part1 = Instance.new("Part",bin)
        part1.FormFactor = "Custom"
        part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,6,2)
        part1.Position = Vector3.new(3,10,1)
        part1.Anchored = true
    end
end
