Here is my current code, its in local script .

01local frame = script.Parent
02local text = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
03 
04for i=1,5 do
05    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (1%)"
06    wait(1)
07    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (5%)"
08    wait(1) 
09    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (15%)"
10    wait(1)
11    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (20%)"
12    wait(1)
13    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (25%)"
14    wait(1)
15    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (30%)"

your code does exactly what you program it to do, so what that does is print the loading from 1% to 100% 5 times SteamG00B 1633 — 6y

I don't this you understand how for loops work. Please take a look at this: https://developer.roblox.com/articles/Roblox-Coding-Basics-Loops lunatic5 409 — 6y

It's because you're using a for loop but not including this bit into the loop:

`1`	`frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-1,0,0,0),"In","Quart")`

Since that part isn't in the loop, the script won't read it.

Edit: Though you don't need the for loop, I believe. so the new piece of code would be this:

01local frame = script.Parent
02local text = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TextLabel")
03 
04 
05    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (1%)"
06    wait(1)
07    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (5%)"
08    wait(1) 
09    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (15%)"
10    wait(1)
11    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (20%)"
12    wait(1)
13    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (25%)"
14    wait(1)
15    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (30%)"
16    wait(1)
17    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (35%)"
18    wait(1)
19    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (40%)"
20    wait(1)
21    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (45%)"
22    wait(1)
23    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (50%)"
24    wait(1)
25    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (55%)"
26    wait(1)
27    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (60%)"
28    wait(1)
29    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (65%)"
30    wait(1)
31    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (70%)"
32    wait(1)
33    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (75%)"
34    wait(1)
35    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (80%)"
36    wait(1)
37    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (85%)"
38    wait(1)
39    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (90%)"
40    wait(1)
41    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (95%)"
42    wait(1)
43    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (99%)"
44    wait(1)
45    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (100%)"

Hope this helps.

Didn't bother to fix the repeated code? xPolarium 1388 — 6y

You are not using the for loop correctly. What your code will do is load from 1% to 100% 5 times. If you want it to increase by 5% every second, you need to use the for loop differently. Here's an example:

1local amtLoaded = 0
2 
3for i = 1, 5 do
4    amtLoaded = amtLoaded + 5
5    text.Text = "Loading Story Mode (" ..amtLoaded.. "%)"
6    wait(1)
7end

The for loop repeats whatever is inside of it the specified number of times. So in the sample above, it will add 5 to the variable amtLoaded each iteration and then change the text to the current percentage.

Much better answer as it suggests avoiding repetition. User#24403 69 — 6y
