Attempt to call a number value????

Asked by

4 years ago

I was trying to script a code that teleports players to a certain area when a timer finishes, and from nowhere, when I call the function minutes() its says: Attempt to call a number value.

Please help me.

01local timerREM = game.ReplicatedStorage.Timer_RemoteEvent
02local Totaltime = {00, 10}  -- For changing the total time of the timer, change the 1st (minutes) and 2nd (seconds) value --
03local minutesval = Totaltime[1]
04local secondsval = Totaltime[2]
05local totaltime = tostring(minutesval.. ": ".. secondsval)
06 
07local function minutes()  -- Important Part
08    minutesval = minutesval - 1
09    totaltime = tostring(minutesval.. ": ".. secondsval)
10    timerREM:FireAllClients(totaltime)
11end
12 
13local function seconds()
14    if minutesval == 0 and secondsval == 0 then
15        print("The players are spawning again")
16        local players = game.Players:GetChildren()
17        local PlayerCharacters = {}
18        local spawns = game.Workspace.Spawns
19 
20        for i, player in pairs (players) do
21            table.insert(PlayerCharacters, #PlayerCharacters + 1, player.Character)
22        end
23 
24        for i, v in pairs(PlayerCharacters) do
25            local desiredSpawn = math.random(1, 12)
26 
27            v.HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(spawns[desiredSpawn].Position + spawns[desiredSpawn].Size/2)
28        end
29 
30        totaltime = tostring(Totaltime[1].. ": ".. Totaltime[2])
31        minutes = Totaltime[1]
32        seconds = Totaltime[2]
33    end
34    if secondsval == 0 then -- Here is the error -- 
35        secondsval = 60
36        minutes()
37    end
38    secondsval = secondsval - 1
39    totaltime = tostring(minutesval.. ": ".. secondsval)
40    timerREM:FireAllClients(totaltime)
41end
42 
43while true do
44    local times = 0
45    while times < 60 do
46        times = times + 1
47        wait(1)
48        seconds()
49    end
50end

The thing is that when I call the function seconds() the script doesnt says there's an error.

This ocurred to me much times, like when I was trying to tween a GUI's position, and when calling functions.

I suggest you change the variable names on the lines mentioned above; I assume you meant: "minutes/seconds-val"?
