I'm using different values to control the game.

For example, if value A changes, value B is affected and so are a good amount of other things. Once A ends, B takes over and so on.

I have this laid out like so:

-Start -Reset -Race

There is also a value inside of every player called Participate.

A player will join the game, choose whether or not they would like to participate in the next race. If they select Yes, their value is turned to 1. Otherwise it remains 0 and they spectate.

Start happens when a race ends or a game starts and the lobby timers ticks down, allowing the players to buy items and choose whether or not they want to join the next race.

Reset happens when a race is over and teleports the players back the lobby. It also gets rid of the existing course.

Race happens when a race is in progress. The gui will say "A race is in progress" and spectating players have limited freedom during this time.

Basically these values change and that's how the game operates. Or so I thought. I can join a game and-

  1. The server does not work at all.
  2. In studio the only thing that works is the lobby. You can click yes or no and the gui text changes, but the timer never generates.

Can anybody help?

Here's the first script which takes care of the GUI's (not the timer) I'm planning to change these to on changed functions rather than endless loops.


local Yes = script.Parent.Yes
local No = script.Parent.No
local Timer = script.Parent.Timer
local Info = script.Parent.Info

local variable = Instance.new("NumberValue",game.Players.LocalPlayer) 
	  variable.Name = "Participate"

function Participating() -- Participating feature inside of player
    Yes.Visible = false
    No.Visible = false
	Info.Text = "You are participating in the next race!"
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Participate.Value = 1 -- Makes Yes/No invisible
end
Yes.MouseButton1Down:connect(Participating)

function Spectating()
    Yes.Visible = false
    No.Visible = false
	Info.Text = "You are spectating the next race."
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.Participate.Value = 0 -- Makes Yes/No invisible
end
No.MouseButton1Down:connect(Spectating)

if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Parent == game.Players then
wait(1)
print("Found Players")
while game.Players.LocalPlayer.Participate.Value == 0 and game.Workspace.Race.Value == 0 do
    		wait(0.05)
	        Info.Text = "You are spectating the next race." -- If player said no they are told this
    	end
	end

while game.Players.LocalPlayer.Participate.Value == 1 and game.Workspace.Race.Value == 0 do -- If player said yes they are told this
	wait(0.05)
	Info.Text = "You are participating in the next race!"
end

Next is the main script which controls teleporting, the timer, and other various game controls.

function reset() -- Timer
	local time = 60 
	for i = 1, 60 do
		wait()
		time = time - 1 
		script.Parent.Text = tostring(time) 
	end
	game.Workspace.Start.Value = 1
	game.Workspace.Race.Value = 1 -- When time runs out activate race/start values.
end

game.Workspace.Race.Value = 0

game.Workspace.Race.Changed:connect(function(value) -- Start of Game
	if value == 0 then
		wait(0.05)
		reset()
		game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.No.Visible = true
		game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Yes.Visible = true
	end
end)

local reset = game.Workspace.Reset
reset.Changed:connect(function(value)
	print(value)
	if value == 0 then
	for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    	local Character = player.Character
		Character:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Lobby.Position)
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Yes.Visible = true
		game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.No.Visible = true
		if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Participating.Value == 0 then
			wait(5)
			local time = 60 
			for i = 1, 60 do
				wait()
				time = time - 1 
				script.Parent.Text = tostring(time) 
				end
				game.Workspace.Start.Value = 1
				game.Workspace.Race.Value = 1
				else 	
				wait(0.05)
					for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
    				local Character = player.Character
					Character:MoveTo(game.Workspace.Lobby.Position)
					reset()
					game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.No.Visible = true
					game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Yes.Visible = true
					game.Workspace.Reset.Value = 0
				end
			end
		end	
	end
end)

local start = game.Workspace.Start -- Start of Race (This is what I edited)
start.Changed:connect(function(value)
	print(value)
	wait(0.05)
	if value == 1 then
		game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.No.Visible = false
		game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.Yes.Visible = false
		script.Parent.Parent.Info.Text = "Race in progress.."
		for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
   			local Character = player.Character
			if player.Participate.Value == 1 then
   	    		Character:MoveTo(game.Workspace.JetSki.VehicleSeat.Position) --The player will teleport
   	    		print("Teleported Players")
				game.Workspace.Start.Value = 0
				game.Workspace.Race.Value = 1
			end
		end
	end	
end)
