Why Does This GUI Script Not Work Until I Reset?

Asked 310 views1 answers

The script I have written below is supposed to create an XP bar for the player that automatically updates as the player's XP changes. However, the XP bar does not update unless my player resets; when it respawns, the bar then updates. Is there anything about my script that could be causing this?

Bar1 = script.Parent.Bar1
	PosX1 = Bar1.Position.X.Offset
	SizeX1 = Bar1.Size.X.Offset
Bar2 = script.Parent.Bar2
	PosY2 = Bar2.Position.Y.Offset
	SizeY2 = Bar2.Size.Y.Offset
Bar3 = script.Parent.Bar3
	PosX3 = Bar3.Position.X.Offset
	SizeX3 = Bar3.Size.X.Offset
Bar4 = script.Parent.Bar4
	PosY4 = Bar4.Position.Y.Offset
	SizeY4 = Bar4.Size.Y.Offset
Bar5 = script.Parent.Bar5
	PosX5 = Bar5.Position.X.Offset
	SizeX5 = Bar5.Size.X.Offset

xp = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.StatsStorage.XP
level = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.leaderstats.Level

lvlForm = (level.Value*5)^2
frac1 = lvlForm*.125
frac2 = lvlForm*.375
ratio1 = xp.Value/frac1
ratio2 = xp.Value/(frac1+frac2)
ratio3 = xp.Value/(frac1+frac2*2)
ratio4 = xp.Value/(frac1+frac2*3)
ratio5 = xp.Value/lvlForm

while true do
	wait(.01)
	if level.Value < 100 then
		if ratio1 < 1 then

Wow, add some loops, this is getting hilarious.

Try this, I added [:WaitForChild("")] so when the player loads the script doesn't start without loading the items. Hope this works! I probably didn't explain this properly, so I apologize for that.

I am afraid that the WaitForChild function did not work; I thank you for attempting to help, though! I actually thought this might have worked...
