Rock, Paper, Getting stuck... Can't get a correct outcome?
First of all, i want to say that i'm pretty much a beginner when it comes to LUA. I've been trying to make this Rock, Paper, Scissors game, but as you probably read the title... Yeah... That's a better name for it, Isn't it? All that i need done is an outcome(in the way of draw, win, lose).
Here's the code that i am using:
button = game.Workspace.button
one = game.Workspace.Part1
two = game.Workspace.Part2
text1 = one.Text.Text
text2 = two.Text.Text
local Table = {"Rock","Paper","Scissors"}
function rps (chance)
text1.Text = "Loading"
text2.Text = "Loading"
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading."
text2.Text = "Loading."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading.."
text2.Text = "Loading.."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading..."
text2.Text = "Loading..."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading...!"
text2.Text = "Loading...!"
wait(0.5)
text1.Text =(Table[math.random(#Table)])
text2.Text =(Table[math.random(#Table)])
wait(3)
end
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(rps)
Many much thanks, Porw2

You just have to compare text1 and text2. First you check if they are equal, that's easy, and it is always a tie. Then, each object has only one other object it can destroy; I would store this in a dictionary called "Victory". Learn about dictionaries here. Index it with choice1 to get what choice2 should be to win. Then a simple comparison. Here you go :)
button = game.Workspace.button
one = game.Workspace.Part1
two = game.Workspace.Part2
text1 = one.Text.Text
text2 = two.Text.Text
local Table = {"Rock","Paper","Scissors"}
local disp = "Loading...!"
local victory = {
Rock = 'Scissors',
Paper = 'Rock',
Scissors = 'Paper'
}
function rps (chance)
for i=4,0,-1 do
--Always try to use a loop!
--slowly reveal the string "disp"
local str = string.sub(disp,1,#disp-i)
text1.Text = str
text2.Text = str
wait(0.5)
end
--define choices
local c1, c2 = Table[math.random(#Table)], Table[math.random(#Table)]
text1.Text = c1
text2.Text = c2
wait(3)
if c1 == c2 then
print('Tie')
elseif victory[c1] == c2 then
print('One wins')
else
print('Two wins')
end
end
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(rps)
You're error is in the rps function so here is the fix:
button = game.Workspace.button
one = game.Workspace.Part1
two = game.Workspace.Part2
text1 = one.Text.Text
text2 = two.Text.Text
local Table = {"Rock","Paper","Scissors"}
function rps (chance)
text1.Text = "Loading"
text2.Text = "Loading"
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading."
text2.Text = "Loading."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading.."
text2.Text = "Loading.."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading..."
text2.Text = "Loading..."
wait(0.5)
text1.Text = "Loading...!"
text2.Text = "Loading...!"
wait(0.5)
text1.Text =(Table[math.random(1, #Table)]) -- the first argument is always the start number and the second is always the end number keep that in mind for randomizing next time
text2.Text =(Table[math.random(1, #Table)])
wait(3)
end
button.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(rps)
