script 1:

local ship = workspace.Ship
local value = workspace.Value.Value

if value == 'intermission' then
    local new = ship:Clone()
    new.Parent = game.ServerStorage
    value = 'ready'
end 

if value == 'regening' then
    local shipclone = game.ServerStorage.Ship
    local map = shipclone
    map.Parent = workspace
    value = 'intermission'
end

script 2:

local ship = script.Parent
local value = workspace.Value.Value
local PP = script.Parent.PrimaryPart
local explosion = workspace.Explosion
local sinking = workspace["Ship Sink 1"]
local wave = workspace["Ocean wave sound effects [HD]"]
workspace["Titanic Grand Staircase Ambiance "]:Play()
wave:Play()

function sink()
    value = 'sinking'
    --private scripting
end
value = 'regening'

if value == 'ready' then
    wait(60)
    sink()
end

Pls help

Well, i have 2 scripts: the one that sinks the ship (i dont want it leaked) and this one. This one is the regeneration script. I need the value to change so that i could see when something is supposed to change, but it doesnt change. Help. MradmannMvip 50 — 5y

what kind of scripts and also for script 1 I recommend you try changing the name of Value to something else because workspace.Value doesn't exist. change the name of the stringvalue then try... Also change Value to local value = workspce.value instead of workspace.Value.Value greatneil80 2647 — 5y

You want to use Changed on problems like this.

Only use Changed on values like Stringvalue or intvalues

local ship = workspace.Ship
local value = workspace.Value

value.Changed:Connect(function() -- ONLY USE CHANGED FOR STRINGVALUES, OBJECTVALUES, INTVALUES AND NUMBERVALUE, CFRAMEVALUES
    if value.Value == 'intermission' then
        local new = ship:Clone()
        new.Parent = game.ServerStorage
        value.Value = 'ready'
    elseif value.Value == 'regening' then
        local shipclone = game.ServerStorage.Ship
        local map = shipclone
        map.Parent = workspace
        value.Value = 'intermission'
    end 

end)

Script 2:

local ship = script.Parent
local value = workspace.Value.Value
local PP = script.Parent.PrimaryPart
local explosion = workspace.Explosion
local sinking = workspace["Ship Sink 1"]
local wave = workspace["Ocean wave sound effects [HD]"]
workspace["Titanic Grand Staircase Ambiance "]:Play()
wave:Play()
function sink()
    value = 'sinking'
    --private scripting
    wait(100) -- Change this to how long you think it should sink for
    value.Value = 'regening'
end




value.Changed:Connect(function()
if value.Value == 'ready' then
    wait(60)
    sink()
end
end)

If this helped, please mark this as the answer

also that "wait" you put in is not necessary as the regening thing is at the end of the function, and thats when the ship stops sinking. MradmannMvip 50 — 5y
