What is wrong with this script? Can Someone fix it for me? ANSWERED

Asked 201 views1 answers

What I want to do is basically to make an intermission that will eventually transition into a match that will start depending on the number of players in the game.** I want it so that at least 4 players are in the game for the match to start. I want it to start counting down the check the number of players in the lobby. **

hint = script.Parent
minplayers = 4


function CheckForPlayers()
	if game.Players.NumPlayers <= minplayers then
		hint.Text = "You need at least "..minplayers.." to start a match."
		Countdown()
	else
		wait (1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 5"
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 4"
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 3"
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 2"
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 1"
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 0"
		wait(2)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match."
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
		wait (1) 
		hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
		wait(1.1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match."
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
		wait (1) 
		hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
		wait(2)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match."
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
		wait(1) 
		hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
		wait(1.1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match."
		wait(1)
		hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
		wait (1) 
		hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
	end
end

function Countdown()
	local i = 30
	while i > -1 do
		wait (1)
		hint.Text = "Intermission: " .. i
		CheckForPlayers()
		i = i - 1
	end
	hint.Parent.Visible = true
end

Mate, you forgot to call your function. If you don't call your function, nothing will run if it is inside of a function.

hint = script.Parent
minplayers = 4


function CheckForPlayers()
    if game.Players.NumPlayers < minplayers then
        hint.Text = "You need at least "..minplayers.." to start a match."
        Countdown()
    else
        wait (1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 5"
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 4"
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 3"
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 2"
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 1"
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match in: 0"
        wait(2)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match."
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
        wait (1) 
        hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
        wait(1.1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match."
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
        wait (1) 
        hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
        wait(2)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match."
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
        wait(1) 
        hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
        wait(1.1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match."
        wait(1)
        hint.Text = "Starting Match.."
        wait (1) 
        hint.Text = "Starting Match..."
    end
end

function Countdown()
    local i = 30
    while i > -1 do
        wait (1)
        hint.Text = "Intermission: " .. i
        CheckForPlayers()
        i = i - 1
    end
    hint.Parent.Visible = true
end

CheckForPlayers() --This is calling your function. This will run the code inside the function CheckForPlayers, which will call Countdown as you placed inside of the original function.

You could of used the "for" as a easier way.
