How Come A Section Of My Code Never Runs In My Local Script?
I'm making a Greeting Gui to go with my chat commands and things aren't going to well. It seems that ROBLOX Studio isn't running a section of my code, the part where the text is set and the check on the player's permission is done. An reason why?
Code
01 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local PlayerGUI = Player.PlayerGui |
03 | local StartMenu = PlayerGUI:WaitForChild("StartMenu") |
04 | local Text = StartMenu:WaitForChild("Text") |
05 | local ModulePlayerNms |
06 | local PromptStartMenu = game.ReplicatedStorage.PromptStartMenu |
07 |
08 | PromptStartMenu.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Table) |
09 | ModulePlayerNms = Table |
10 | end) |
11 | function CheckPlayerPerm(PlayerToCheck, ModuleToSearch) |
12 | local IfPlayer |
13 | for _, plr in pairs(ModuleToSearch) do |
14 | if PlayerToCheck.Name == plr then |
15 | IfPlayer = PlayerToCheck |

Area that doesn't run
01 | local TextString = "Thank You For Using J-Commands! This Is Still In BETA Phase So Except Some Bugs..." |
02 | local IfAdminText = "Welcome, "..Player.Name.." You Have Permission To Use Commands!" |
03 | if Text.BackgroundTransparency == 0 then -----------NEVER SEEMS TO RUN?! |
04 | for i = 1, #TextString do |
05 | Text.Text = string.sub(TextString, 1, i) |
06 | wait(.07) |
07 | end |
08 | wait(2) |
09 | if CheckPlayerPerm(Player, ModulePlayerNms) then |
10 | for i = 1, #IfAdminText do |
11 | Text.Text = string.sub(IfAdminText, 1, i) |
12 | wait(.07) |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |

The BackgroundTransparency appears as 0.01, not 0. Ziffixture 6913 — 4y

So I would check if it was equal to 0.01? JeffTheEpicRobloxian 258 — 4y

That cant be right, its meant to loop until it reaches to 0 JeffTheEpicRobloxian 258 — 4y

Do yyou think i should remove the conditional instead? JeffTheEpicRobloxian 258 — 4y

Try removing the end on line 27 maybe that works MediaHQ 53 — 4y

The condition checking of BackgroundTrasparency seems redundant as you previously ran a loop that guarenteed it to be 0. I would just remove that if statement altogether. PhantomVisual 992 — 4y

i would re-write the section :
01 | local TextString = "Thank You For Using J-Commands! This Is Still In BETA Phase So Except Some Bugs..." |
02 | local IfAdminText = "Welcome, "..Player.Name.." You Have Permission To Use Commands!" |
03 | if Text.BackgroundTransparency == 0 then -----------NEVER SEEMS TO RUN?! |
04 | for i = 1, #TextString do |
05 | Text.Text = string.sub(TextString, 1, i) |
06 | wait(.07) |
07 | end |
08 | wait(2) |
09 | if CheckPlayerPerm(Player, ModulePlayerNms) then |
10 | for i = 1, #IfAdminText do |
11 | Text.Text = string.sub(IfAdminText, 1, i) |
12 | wait(.07) |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
As
01 | local TextString = "Thank You For Using J-Commands! This Is Still In BETA Phase So Except Some Bugs..." |
02 | local IfAdminText = "Welcome, "..Player.Name.." You Have Permission To Use Commands!" |
03 | if math.floor(Text.BackgroundTransparency+0.5) == 0 then ----------- |
04 | for i = 1, #TextString do |
05 | Text.Text = string.sub(TextString, 1, i) |
06 | wait(.07) |
07 | end |
08 | wait(2) |
09 | if CheckPlayerPerm(Player, ModulePlayerNms) then |
10 | for i = 1, #IfAdminText do |
11 | Text.Text = string.sub(IfAdminText, 1, i) |
12 | wait(.07) |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end |
Since the code you're dealing with 0.0n numbers and that for loop doesn't get to 0 so you would have to round the number to the nearest int
Or change your for loop:
From
1 | for Transparency = 1, 0, -.01 do |
2 | Text.BackgroundTransparency = Transparency |
3 | wait(.001) |
4 | end |
to
1 | for Transparency = 1, 0, -.01 do |
2 | Text.BackgroundTransparency = Transparency |
3 | wait(.001) |
4 | end |
5 | Text.BackgroundTransparency = 0 -- make sure the BackgroundTransparency is at 0 not 0.01 or something! |
6 | --// little hacky i know lol but its a way to make sure the transparency is at 0 so the following if statement works! |
Hope this helps!
