What is wrong with my King of the Hill script?
I believe the error is at line 6, where it defines the hint's text. The hint's text shows up, but the timer blue and red variables don't go down (they may, but the text on the hint does not change.)
01 | local h = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace) |
02 | TimerBlue = 360 |
03 | TimerRed = 360 |
04 | TimerTie = 360 |
05 |
06 | while true do |
07 | h.Text = "Blue Timer: " ..TimerBlue .." | " .."Red Timer: " ..TimerRed |
08 | wait(1) |
09 | end |
10 |
11 | while game.Workspace.AbandonedSkyMill.Point.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright blue") do |
12 | wait(1) |
13 | TimerBlue = TimerBlue - 1 |
14 | if TimerBlue == 0 then break end |
15 | end |

Your while loop is an infinite loop so anything below it will not run. NotsoPenguin 705 — 9y

Above is right. I'll answer it more clearly. DevChris 235 — 9y

Where you put
1 | while true do |
2 | h.Text = "Blue Timer: " ..TimerBlue .." | " .."Red Timer: " ..TimerRed |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | end |
This is a while loop, and keeps running until the condition (true) is false. Since true is true and you can't change it (and it's not a variable either), it won't stop running to go on to the next while. Now since I know you don't want to stop it, put a coroutine around it to "hide" it.
1 | coroutine.wrap(function() |
2 | while true do |
3 | h.Text = "Blue Timer: " ..TimerBlue .." | " .."Red Timer: " ..TimerRed |
4 | wait(1) |
5 | end |
6 | end)() |

Thank you! Will try out! I'm still learning the lua programming language Noobegai -4 — 9y

It still does the same thing: no error, here is my new script:
01 | local h = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace) |
02 | TimerBlue = 360 |
03 | TimerRed = 360 |
04 | coroutine.wrap(function() |
05 | while true do |
06 | h.Text = "Blue Timer: " ..TimerBlue .." | " .."Red Timer: " ..TimerRed |
07 | wait(1) |
08 | end |
09 | end)() |
10 |
11 | coroutine.wrap(function() |
12 | while game.Workspace.AbandonedSkyMill.Point.Light.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Bright blue") do |
13 | wait(1) |
14 | TimerBlue = TimerBlue - 1 |
15 | if TimerBlue == 0 then break end |

nvm it works now! I just smooshed everything into one coroutine function Noobegai -4 — 9y
