Is it possible for conflicting conditions to be true at the same time?
In the output, things work as expected with red alternating being printed with blue, but in game, even with both conditions being true my part remains blue. I expect blue and red to alternate like in the output. I don't understand why information from output doesn't match up with the color of the brick.
local Point_A = game.Workspace.Points.Point_A
while true do
wait(1)
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v.Character then
if (v.Character.Torso.Position - Point_A.Position).magnitude < 15 and v.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
Point_A.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
print("Set to blue")
end
end
if v.Character then
if (v.Character.Torso.Position - Point_A.Position).magnitude < 15 and v.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
Point_A.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
print("Set to red")
end
end
end
end

Why the first if statement and the line 05 have this line:
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
But the next if statement doesn't have this?
Maybe put the next if statement this line I guess:
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
0
0
0
The outcome will always be blue, as you may have coincidentally checked for blue last(in your table of players, the last player that the script checked for is probably on the blue team). In the event in which red and blue are both contesting the area, and both conditions are true, the logic of the script would be to first set the brickcolor to red, and in the next instance, switch it to blue. So it actually does set the brickcolor to red, but just quickly changes it to blue afterwards. This would also explain the output. The checks for red and blue are not run simultaneously; they just have a extremely short interval between them. To get around this, one solution off the top of my head would be to just write a chunk of code to check for all three possibilities(if blue only, if red only and if both blue and red):
local pointA = game.Workspace.points.Point_A
while wait(1) do
local blue = false
local red = false
for i, v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
if v.Character then
local dist = (v.Character.Torso.Position - pointA.Position).magnitude
if dist <= 15 and v.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
blue = true
elseif dist <= 15 and v.TeamColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
red = true
end
end
end
if red and not blue then
pointA.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
elseif blue and not red then
pointA.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
elseif blue and red then
if pointA.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Really red") then
pointA.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really blue")
elseif pointA.BrickColor == BrickColor.new("Really blue") then
pointA.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
end
end
end
