Why is my wait function is not working properly?
I tried to fire a remote event after 5 seconds but it didn't seem to work. I tried using print to debug it and still
these are all my script involving this problem
1 | --spawner Local script |
2 |
3 | local button = script.Parent --your textbutton |
4 | local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Reemote") |
5 |
6 | button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
7 | remote:FireServer() |
8 | end) |

1 | --weapon Local script |
2 |
3 | local button = script.Parent --your textbutton |
4 | local weaponRemote = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("WeaponEvent") |
5 |
6 | button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() |
7 | wait(5) --this is the problem |
8 | weaponRemote:FireServer() |
9 | end) |

01 | --weaponscript |
02 | local famas = game.ReplicatedStorage.FAMAS |
03 | local scarL = game.ReplicatedStorage["SCAR-L"] |
04 | local famasClone = famas:Clone() |
05 | local scarLClone = scarL:Clone() |
06 | local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") |
07 | remote.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage |
08 | remote.Name = "WeaponEvent" |
09 |
10 | remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) |
11 | famasClone.Parent = plr.Backpack |
12 | scarLClone.Parent = plr.Backpack |
13 | print("weaponscript activated") |
14 | end) |

01 | --Spawnscript |
02 | math.randomseed(tick()) |
03 | local remote = Instance.new("RemoteEvent") |
04 | remote.Parent = game.ReplicatedStorage |
05 | remote.Name = "Reemote" |
06 | local spawns = workspace.Spawns:GetChildren() -- a model of all the spawn bricks |
07 |
08 | remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr) |
09 | plr:LoadCharacter() |
10 | local PlayerSpawn = spawns[math.random(1,#spawns)] |
11 | plr.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(PlayerSpawn.Position.X,PlayerSpawn.Position.Y + 5,PlayerSpawn.Position.Z)) |
12 | print("spawn script activated") |
13 | end) |
the output will be like this
weaponscript activated
spawn script activated
where the weapon script got activated first

So if im not wrong you want the spawn script to be activated first? starmaq 1290 — 6y

If that's the case, the one-way message between client and server or the other way around is not immediate, the network connection between the client and server will determine how quickly this happens. starmaq 1290 — 6y

i guess what u can do is, add a boolean value object parented to your serversided spawnscript and name it "Activated", it will be set to false at first, and do script.Spawned = true in your spawnscript at the end. got the idea? and in your weapons script add an if statment checking if Activated == true, now weapons script will never work until the spawnscript is activated first starmaq 1290 — 6y
