This script spams a message constantly, what's wrong with it? [UNANSWERED]

Replace:

repeat

            a = HowLongVotingPeriodLasts

            wait(1)

            m = Instance.new("Message", Workspace)

            m.Text = "Voting Time: "

            a = a - 1

            wait(1)

until a == 0

with:

local m = Instance.new("Message", game.Workspace)

m.Text = "Voting Time: "

wait(HowLongVotingPeriodLasts)

m:Destroy()

This should work

local ChrNum = {"39563808","80254","1","48705637","15861410","42943434"} 



















local Randomizer = ChrNum[math.random(1,#ChrNum)] 




game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) 




    local use = true 




    plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(chr) 




        if use == true then 



            use = false 




            plr.CharacterAppearance = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset/CharacterFetch.ashx?userId="..Randomizer.."&placeId="..game.PlaceId 




            wait() 




            plr:LoadCharacter() 




        end 




    end) 




end) 

Its flooding one message for a reason.. Look harder.
