I can't run the game in Studio because then Studio crashes. I think the script is crashing?

Asked by 8 years ago
minigames = game.Lighting.Minigames:GetChildren()
h = Instance.new("Hint", game.Workspace)

function removePlate()
    local plates = game.Workspace.DisappearingPlates.Plates:GetChildren()
    local ranNum1 = math.random(1,#plates)
    local ranNum2 = 1
    while ranNum1 == ranNum2 do
    local ranNum2 = math.random(1,#plates)
    wait(1)

    local plateChosen = plates(ranNum1)

    for i = 0, 1, 0.06 do
        plateChosen.Transparency = i
        plateChosen2.Transparency = i
        wait()

    plateChosen:Destroy()
    plateChosen2:Destroy()

while loops must contain some sort of delay, otherwise they will crash the server. Usually this delay is the wait() function.

Your loop contains several of these functions, but notice that they're all inside of your first if statement! This means that if your if statement is false, your script will never wait, and thus crash.

Just add a small delay every time it loops, no matter the outcome of the if statement.

while true do
    wait() --gotta have that
    if game.Players.NumPlayers > 1 then
        h.Text = "Deciding what game to play"
        wait(3)
        ranGame = math.random(1, #minigames)
        gameChosen = minigames[ranGame]
        h.Text = "Minigame chosen: " .. gameChosen.Name
        wait(3)
        gameChosenClone = gameChosen:Clone()
        gameChosenClone.Parent = game.Workspace
        wait(3)
        --Teleporting players to map
        spawns = gameChosenClone.Spawns:GetChildren()
        for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
            name = v.Name
            check = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(name)
            if check then
                checkHumanoid = check:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
                if checkHumanoid then
                    v.Character:MoveTo(spawns[i].Position)
                end
            end 
        end
        for i = 3, 1, -1 do
            h.Text = "Game begins in: " .. i
            wait(1)
        end
        if gameChosenClone.Name == "DisappearingPlates" then
        timeTillGameEnds = 20
        --Countdown until the game ends
        for i = timeTillGameEnds, 1, -1 do
            h.Text = "Time Left: " .. i
            removePlate()
        end

    else
        h.Text = "There needs to be more than 1 player to start"
        wait(1)
    end
