Hints work in studio, but not in-game! Why is that?

Hey guys,

I have recently got a bug where the hints work in the studio testing, but they don't appear when in-game. Does anyone see a problem as unfortunately I don't!

Delay = 20
ZombieAttackTime = 45
Message = Instance.new("Hint")
Message.Parent = workspace

while true do
        for i = 1, Delay*1 do
        Message.Text = "The Next Race will begin in " .. Delay*1-i
        wait(1)
        end
    local msg = Instance.new("Message")
    msg.Parent = game.Workspace
    msg.Text = ("Course : Original by Michael007800")
    wait(5)
    msg:remove()
    local New = Instance.new("Message")
    New.Parent = workspace
    New.Text = "THE RACE HAS BEGUN!!!!!"
    game.Lighting.Map1:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
    script.Sound1:play()
    script.RaceStart1:play()
    script.RaceStart2:play()
    script.RaceStart3:play()
    script.RaceStart4:play()
    script.RaceStart5:play()
    script.Parent.CanCollide = false
    script.Parent.Transparency = 1
    wait(3)
    New:remove()
    wait(2)
    script.Parent.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
        for i = 1, ZombieAttackTime*1 do
        Message.Text = "The Next Race will end in " .. ZombieAttackTime*1-i
        wait(1)
    end
    local New = Instance.new("Message")
    New.Parent = workspace
    New.Text = "THE RACE HAS ENDED!!!!!"
    game.Workspace.Map1:remove()
    script.Sound1:stop()
    script.Parent.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
    wait(3)
    New:remove()


            for i = 1, Delay*1 do
        Message.Text = "The Next Race will begin in " .. Delay*1-i
        wait(1)
        end
    local msg = Instance.new("Message")
    msg.Parent = game.Workspace
    msg.Text = ("Course : Dark Stadium by darksideday")
    wait(5)
    msg:remove()
    local New = Instance.new("Message")
    New.Parent = workspace
    New.Text = "THE RACE HAS BEGUN!!!!!"
    game.Lighting.Map2:clone().Parent = game.Workspace
    script.Sound2:play()
    script.RaceStart1:play()
    script.RaceStart2:play()
    script.RaceStart3:play()
    script.RaceStart4:play()
    script.RaceStart5:play()
    script.Parent.CanCollide = false
    script.Parent.Transparency = 1
    wait(3)
    New:remove()
    wait(2)
    script.Parent.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
        for i = 1, ZombieAttackTime*1 do
        Message.Text = "The Race will end in " .. ZombieAttackTime*1-i
        wait(1)
    end
    local New = Instance.new("Message")
    New.Parent = workspace
    New.Text = "THE RACE HAS ENDED!!!!!"
    game.Workspace.Map2:remove()
    script.Sound2:stop()
    script.Parent.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
    wait(3)
    New:remove()

end

Thanks in advanced,

Michael

(Due to 10,000 character limit, I had to cut the script down!)

The Message object is very old and almost everyone has stopped using it due to its bugginess, which could be causing this. Id recommend just putting it in a SurfaceGUI, drew1017 330 — 9y

I will do when I finish off tracks and an happy with everything. I'm using Hints and Messages however ATM as it's just easier. Michael007800 144 — 9y

Delay = 20
ZombieAttackTime = 45

function hint(text,time) --Hint Function
    local Message = Instance.new("Hint",workspace)
    Message.Text = text
    game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Message, time) --Add Item from Debris service
end

function message(text, time) --Message Function
    local msg = Instance.new("Message",workspace)
    msg.Text = text
    game:GetService("Debris"):AddItem(Message, time)--Same thing
end

while true do
        for i = Delay,0,-1 do --Changed this to this format
        hint("The Next Race will begin in " .. i, 1) --Changed the hints into functions
        wait(1)
        end
    message("Course : Original by Michael007800", 5)--Same thing with messages
wait(5)
    message("THE RACE HAS BEGUN!!!!!", 3)

    game.Workspace.Map2:Destroy()
    script.Sound2:stop()
    script.Parent.CanCollide = true
    script.Parent.Transparency = 0
    wait(3)
end

Hope This Helps!
