Why do I get the error "'for' initial value must be a number" ?
Hey, I'm making a round script and I'm using a ModuleScript to store all of the settings. This is what it looks like:
local Settings = {}
Intermission = 15;
GameTime = 60;
return Settings
This script is inside the main game script. I created variables in the main script to access these values.
--[ Game Variables Intermission = Settings.Intermission GameTime = Settings.GameTime
I did it for the actual script too ;P
--[ Modules Settings = require(script.Settings)
And I used it for the intermission like this:
if game.Players.NumPlayers >= 1 then
for i = Intermission, 0, -1 do
ChangeText("Intermission: " .. i)
wait(1)
end
And I get this error
Workspace.CoreGame:46: 'for' initial value must be a number
If I remove the Intermission after for i = and replace it with an actual number it works fine. But I want to have it connect to the settings module script

The reason is that you are not putting Intermission and GameTime in the module script. To put a variable in a module script, you would do
local Settings = {}
Settings.Intermission = 15;
Settings.GameTime = 60;
return Settings
Your script should work then.
Hope this helps!

Also, main scripts like the round scripts should be in ServerScriptService. Clients cannot see them so they can't steal your hard work, and they have the amount of work or whatever they are doing in the dev console. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y
