what is wrong with this server message script? it doesnt work at all
what is wrong with it. I put it in starterpack so it runs automatically. nothing happens.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
wait()
while true do
if game.Workspace.PlayerCount.Players.Value <= 2
then
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "Waiting for at least FIVE players to join..",
Color = Color3.new(100, 100, 0),
Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size18,
print("made it here lol")
})
wait(10)
end
wait()
if game.Workspace.PlayerCount.Players.Value >= 2
and game.Workspace.game.CanCollide == true
then
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "Welcome to the annual HUNGER GAMES",
Color = Color3.new(100, 0, 0),
Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size18,
})
local a = true
if a == true then
player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("Forest green")
wait(10)
game.Workspace.game.CanCollide = false
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "If you don't know how to play, read the description!",
Color = Color3.new(0, 100, 0),
Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size18,
})
a = false
local b = true
wait(10)
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "Selecting random arena...",
Color = Color3.new(100, 100, 530),
Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size18,
})
elseif 1 b == true then
wait(5)
game.StarterGui:SetCore("ChatMakeSystemMessage", {
Text = "Arena selected. Prepare to enter the game. May the odds be ever in your favor.",
Color = Color3.new(322, 100, 0),
Font = Enum.Font.SourceSansLight,
FontSize = Enum.FontSize.Size18,
})
b = false
local c = true
elseif
c == true
then
wait(20)
local Pos = player.Character:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()
player:LoadCharacter()
player.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Pos)
if player.Character:FindFirstChild("ForceField") then
player.Character["ForceField"]:Destroy()
wait(1)
game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.tp:FireServer()
c = false
end end
end
end
end)

Unfortunately, I don't exactly know how to help you. I'm posting this comment because you've been asking a lot of questions about your game, and I'm assuming you're making a Hunger Games replica. Looks interesting. I'm actually kind of curious as to how it is going to turn out lol. Will probably check it out when it's done. Good luck figuring things out, man! lunatic5 409 — 5y

Reply to your comment. This is why your script never works in StarterPlayer. Either move the script to `Workspace`/`ServerScriptService` or change it to `Local Script`. Zafirua 1348 — 5y

There are multiple problems on your code.
First of all, you should always indent your code properly to make it more readable.
Server Scripts do not work in StarterPlayer. They only work in either Workspace, or ServerScriptService. Consider either moving it to those locations or changing the script into Local Script.
You shouldn't be using while true do loop for this. You should make a Server Script. that invokes the Local Script. And the Local Script handles the major framework and/or communicates with Server Script if necessary.
For example
Server Sided Script
-- [Declaration Section]
--\\ Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local Players = game:GetService("Players");
--\\ Remote Event
local OnPlayerEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("OnPlayerEvent");
local RequirementEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RequirementEvent");
--\\ IntValue Adding
local AmountOfPlayers = script.AmountOfPlayers;
--\\ Starting Numbers of Players
local MIN = 5;
-- [Processing Section]
local function On_Player_Added ()
AmountOfPlayers.Value = AmountOfPlayers.Value + 1;
print(AmountOfPlayers.Value);
if AmountOfPlayers.Value >= MIN then
print(AmountOfPlayers.Value .. ": Invoking!");
RequirementEvent:FireAllClients(true);
else
print(AmountOfPlayers.Value .. ": Not Enough!");
RequirementEvent:FireAllClients(false);
end;
end;
local function On_Player_Leaved ()
AmountOfPlayers.Value = AmountOfPlayers.Value - 1;
print(AmountOfPlayers.Value);
end;
-- [Connecting Section]
Players.ChildAdded:Connect(On_Player_Added);
Players.ChildRemoved:Connect(On_Player_Leaved);
Client Sided Script
-- [Declaration Section]
--\\ Game Services
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage");
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer;
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait();
--\\ Remote Event Location
local RequirementEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RequirementEvent");
-- [Processing Section]
local function On_Player_Added (Value)
if Value == true then
print("Enough Players: Starting Game");
-- Do Stuff
else
print("Not Enough Players");
end
end;
-- [Connecting Section]
RequirementEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(On_Player_Added);
Of course, there are numerous ways to do this, and this is just one of the ways. With the above code, you have to make sure that the Remote Event does not fire in the middle of the game. This can simply be achieved by using Boolean values.
Hope this gives you a starting idea on how to manage scripts. You should also always be utilizing Module Scripts.

It is a servermessage script not a local scrit zValerian 108 — 5y
