why is the first loop only running and not the others, im so confused??
In my game i need to tween a lot of billboardGui's size when you're close to them. I made this script to handle them all, but the first one is working not the others, do you possibly need to use a coroutine? I've heard they might be related to this problem. Can someone give a brief answer explaining in detail?
01 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local CheckItem = require(script.CheckItem) |
03 |
04 | local Char = Player.CharacterAdded:Wait() |
05 |
06 | local TweenItem = require(script.TweenItem) |
07 |
08 | function checkDist(part1, part2) |
09 | if typeof(part1) ~= Vector3 then part1 = part1.Position end |
10 | if typeof(part2) ~= Vector3 then part2 = part2.Position end |
11 |
12 | return (part1 - part2).Magnitude |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | local function tweenStuffOut(item) |

I would use coroutine.wrap.

01 | local Run = coroutine.wrap(function(realItem) |
02 | while wait() do |
03 | if checkDist(Char.HumanoidRootPart, realItem.Parent.Parent) <= 20 then |
04 | print("close") |
05 | tweenStuffOut(realItem) |
06 | else |
07 | tweenStuffIn(realItem) |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end |

The Reason Why The First loop is only running is because , when you run a loop inside the code , It yeilds , or 'stops' the rest of the script until the Loop has been completed , stopped or broken by using the keyword break inside the loop
The Answer to your problem is using coroutines or spawn
they both run code on different threads , meaning it will not yield or stop the rest of the code
I usally use the spawn function mostly too.
So basically , what you can do is for every line that has the run() function just put this in
1 | spawn(function()---Will Run on a sperate thread and will not yeild the other parts over the script ! |
2 | Run(workspace.Applications.BankShop.Step.BillboardGui.TextLabel) |
3 | end) |
4 |
5 | ---/ Run your next function |
6 | spawn(function() |
7 |
8 | end) |
with this technique , you can run multiple functions and things at one time ! :D !
Have a good day lol ! :D !
