my script does not run when the game starts however does run if i run it through the dev console?

Asked by 4 years ago

So i'm making a game where you kidnap people. I scripted the tools and they work as intended. However my game script is not running when the game starts. It is stored in serverscriptservice. It runs when executed through the console command line. Any help?

try putting wait() at the start of the script, it does work for me sometimes DangerousKillerTimur 54 — 4y

try putting a print("Script started") at the first of everything so if it prints script started so it means the script in running but you made something wrong. InspireWithFun 9 — 3y
