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

Asked 166 views1 answers

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,

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.

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.Lighting.Map1:clone().Parent = game.Workspace

Hope This Helps!
