Countdown GUI freezing?
I've ran into an annoying issue with my Countdown GUI. The script is supposed to count down how many seconds until a new minigame is chosen. However, the script stops working after it waits for 3 seconds. I did not run into this issue before I moved the script to a new place instance.
local MainBar = game.StarterGui:FindFirstChild("MainBar")
---------------
local MainBarFrame = MainBar:FindFirstChild("MainBarFrame")
---------------
local MainBarText = MainBarFrame:FindFirstChild("MainBarText")
---------------
local Minigames = game.ReplicatedStorage.Minigames:GetChildren()
---------------------------------------
MainBarText.Text = "Get ready for the next minigame!"
wait(3)
for i = 15,0,-1 do --How much time is left until the next minigame
MainBarText.Text = "Next minigame in " .. i .. " seconds!"
wait(1)
if i == 0 then
MainBarText.Text = "Choosing a minigame..."
Minigame = Minigames[math.random(1,#Minigames)]:Clone()
Minigame.Parent = game.workspace
MainBarText.Text = "Minigame: " .. Minigame.MinigameName.Value .. " by " .. Minigame.MinigameCreator.Value .. ""
This is what the Output told me:
16:40:55.368 - MainBar is not a valid member of PlayerGui
16:40:55.369 - Script 'Players.Player.PlayerGui.GameScript', Line 7
16:40:55.369 - Stack End

Well, you're supposed to set MainBar to the Player's GUI. Although, by the error, it somehow seems you have. Is your game FIlteringEnabled? Shawnyg 4330 — 9y

There is no need for the 'if i == 0 then' if statement inside the for loop. Put it outside the for loop without the if statement. It will run right when the for loop finishes. Tkdriverx 514 — 9y

I don get this glitch, but I fixed your script (it didn't work, anyway, so I made a new feature to change it for every player because StarterGui is like the StarterPack of GUIs):
local Minigames = game.ReplicatedStorage.Minigames:GetChildren()
function changeText(text)
local p = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i = 1,#p do
local MainBar = p[i].PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("MainBar")
local MainBarFrame = MainBar:FindFirstChild("MainBarFrame")
local MainBarText = MainBarFrame:FindFirstChild("MainBarText")
MainBarText.Text = text
end
end
changeText("Get ready for the next minigame!")
wait(1)
for i = 0,15,1 do --How much time is left until the next minigame
print(i)
changeText("Next minigame in " .. 15 - i .. " seconds!")
wait(1)
if i == 15 then
changeText("Choosing a minigame...")
Minigame = Minigames[math.random(1,#Minigames)]:Clone()
Minigame.Parent = game.workspace
changeText("Minigame: " .. Minigame.MinigameName.Value .. " by " .. Minigame.MinigameCreator.Value)
end
end
