Why doesn't this script work? No errors are produced. Only the first "Print" is produced in output
A quick rundown, it's a morph system for an upcoming dinosaur game. This is a footstep system for when the player is near the dinosaurs (Screenshake)
However,
The code below doesn't work. No errors are produced, and the only thing that prints is "Phase1" Phase 2+ do not print. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! THIS IS NOT A LOCALSCRIPT
print("Phase1")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
print("Phase2")
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(onhit)
if onhit:IsDescendantOf(script.Parent.Parent) then
else
if script.Parent.Parent.IsWalking.Value ==true then
local DT = Player.Character:WaitForChild("DinosaurType")
if DT then
if DT.Value == "Tyrant" then
else
if onhit:IsDescendantOf(Player.Character) then
for i = 1,20 do
local hum = Player.Character.Humanoid
print("Phase3")
local a = math.random(-100,100)/100
local b = math.random(-100,100)/100
local c = math.random(-100,100)/100
hum.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(a,b,c)
wait()
end
end
end
else
for i = 1,20 do
local hum = Player.Character.Humanoid
print("Phase2")
local a = math.random(-100,100)/100
local b = math.random(-100,100)/100
local c = math.random(-100,100)/100
hum.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(a,b,c)
wait()
end
end
end
end
end)
end)

The game runs both the server and client at the same time, so sometimes what happens is that the player gets added before the server script is able to run. So what you could do is use a loop that loops through all players in the game instead.
You could do something like this (not the best but it should work):
local function plrAdded(player)
--your code
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(plrAdded) --regular PlayerAdded
for i, plr in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
plrAdded(plr) --loop through and add player
end

+1. Note: Roblox recommends using ":GetPlayers()" instead of ":GetChildren()", though I suppose this only matters if someone stores things in Players (which you shouldn't do). chess123mate 5873 — 3y
