I tried to include more loops, but only the first loop played, what do i do to add more than 1 look?

Asked 330 views2 answers

When I tried to build a script, i included more loops. And not every loops played, only the first loop played. Here’s the script I’m into:

local m = Instance.new("Message",Workspace)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -M"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -ME"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MEL"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELT"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTD"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDO"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOW"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOWN"
wait(0.7)
m:Remove()
wait()
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Name = "Sound"
sound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=332186658"
sound.Volume = 3
sound.Pitch = 1 
sound.Looped = true
sound.archivable = false
sound.Parent = game.Workspace
wait()
sound:play()
game.Lighting.FogEnd = 600
wait()
while true do
game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(900,0,0)
wait(1.1)
game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
wait(1.1)
end
local m = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
wait()
local unit = 190
wait()
for i = 1, 190 do
    unit = unit - 1
    m.Text = "Meltdown in"  ..unit.. " Seconds"
    wait(1)
end
while true do
game.Workspace.Baseplate:remove()
game.Workspace.Gravity = 0
game.Workspace.Terrain:ClearAllChildren()
game.Workspace:ClearAllChildren()
end
while true do 
 wait(0.1)
 Hi = game.Players:GetChildren()
 for i = 1,#Hi do
  Hi[i]:kick("DEFEAT! THE IMPOSTOR WAS: Naderssrr")
 end
end

This is the script. Please help me.

Simple! This is simply due to how lua functions, when your code hits a loop itll stay on that loop till the loop exits or breaks. So in order to run multiple loops at once you gotta do something fancy, I suggest using the Spawn() function to create another thread!. Heres the edited code!:

local m = Instance.new("Message",Workspace)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -M"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -ME"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MEL"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELT"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTD"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDO"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOW"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOWN"
wait(0.7)
m:Remove()
wait()
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Name = "Sound"
sound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=332186658"
sound.Volume = 3
sound.Pitch = 1 
sound.Looped = true
sound.archivable = false
sound.Parent = game.Workspace
wait()
sound:play()
game.Lighting.FogEnd = 600
wait()
while true do
game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(900,0,0)
wait(1.1)
game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
wait(1.1)
end
local m = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
wait()
local unit = 190
wait()
for i = 1, 190 do
    unit = unit - 1
    m.Text = "Meltdown in"  ..unit.. " Seconds"
    wait(1)
end
spawn(function() --Spawning separate thread to do this loop.
	while true do
	game.Workspace.Baseplate:remove()
	game.Workspace.Gravity = 0
	game.Workspace.Terrain:ClearAllChildren()
	game.Workspace:ClearAllChildren()
	end
end)
while true do 
 wait(0.1)
 Hi = game.Players:GetChildren()
 for i = 1,#Hi do
  Hi[i]:kick("DEFEAT! THE IMPOSTOR WAS: Naderssrr")
 end
end

I suggest using coroutines over spawns.

Depends on the use case, in most scenarios it doesnt matter.

Use coroutines, so the loop won't yield the script:

local m = Instance.new("Message",Workspace)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -M"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -ME"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MEL"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELT"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTD"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDO"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOW"
wait(0.2)
m.Text = "REACTOR SABOTAGE -MELTDOWN"
wait(0.7)
m:Remove()
wait()
local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
sound.Name = "Sound"
sound.SoundId = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=332186658"
sound.Volume = 3
sound.Pitch = 1 
sound.Looped = true
sound.archivable = false
sound.Parent = game.Workspace
wait()
sound:play()
game.Lighting.FogEnd = 600
wait()
coroutine.wrap(function()
	while true do
		game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(900,0,0)
		wait(1.1)
		game.Lighting.FogColor = Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255)
		wait(1.1)
	end
end)() -- do not delete those two brackets as they will make the coroutine run
	
local m = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)
wait()
local unit = 190
wait()
for i = 1, 190 do
	unit = unit - 1
	m.Text = "Meltdown in"  ..unit.. " Seconds"
	wait(1)
end
coroutine.wrap(function()
	while true do
		game.Workspace.Baseplate:Destroy() -- remove() is deprecated
		game.Workspace.Gravity = 0
		game.Workspace.Terrain:ClearAllChildren()
		game.Workspace:ClearAllChildren()
		wait() -- without teh wait the loop will crash the game
	end
end)()


while true do 
	wait(0.1)
	Hi = game.Players:GetChildren()
	for i = 1,#Hi do
		Hi[i]:kick("DEFEAT! THE IMPOSTOR WAS: Naderssrr")
	end
end

I haven't tested it, but by logic it should work

Thank you so much, the coroutine Script works! Thanks for helping me.

One problem, keep the kick script loop.

It is line 63-69, look closely
