This script keeps not working, can anyone tell me what is wrong with it? [UNSOLVED]

Asked by

Basically this is a launch script that will work based on the new nerfed explosions and physics engine. I keep having issues pop up with Lines 64, 65, and 77. Can anyone read through this and help me correct it? (I am fairly new to RBX.Lua and scripting in Roblox as a whole so I apologize if I come off as "stupid").

What it is showing in the dev console and the output is at the very bottom, also, if you find any other errors, please let me know.

The issue now is it lags out the server and studio to a crash after the script has gotten to Lines 40-42. (I am unsure if it gets to Line 42 because nothing happens after it displays "Ignition" in the Dev Console and as a hint)

--Also how would I remove the hints after they have been displayed? (currently they are just layering over each other.)

On line 77 you have:

explosion.Position = game.Workspace.Rocket.RocketModel.Booster

A position has to be set to a Vector3 value, you are trying to set it to an object. It should be:

explosion.Position = game.Workspace.Rocket.RocketModel.Booster.Position
0
Okay, now it is saying: 23:01:36 -- Workspace.Rocket.Explosion trigger.Script:182: '<eof>' exoected near 'end' -I have updated the script shown above to what it is currently in-game as well. areiydenfan00 115 — 10y

Also, for the countdown you can use a for loop.

for i = 10,1,-1 do
print("Omicron I lauching in"..i)

Had to change line 9 to: "game.Workspace.Rocket.Explosiontrigger.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function (onClicked)" (clearly without the " 's) and now it just lags out the server and studio to a crash after it reaches about line 40 or(Console prints out Ignition as well as the Hint gets displayed.) areiydenfan00 115 — 10y

Wow, massive script dude. O.o Probably pushing near the 10k character limit here. Is it possible to simplify your script to just a loop of explosions in the part you have mapped at game.Workspace.Rocket.RocketModel.Booster?

Thanks, I guess? And I had to get rid of a few lines at the bottom because I went over the char limit. And it probably is, I just don't know how to.... areiydenfan00 115 — 10y

Lol, I'm not very good with loops so I'm sorry that I can't help you here. Feel free to message me if you have any other issues though! EFPA223 10 — 10y
