Use coroutine

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 1:39 PM

#

i was just resezrching it

#

but. saw too many words and left

steady olive May 8, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

wait() is to... wait... Is that obvious? What do you expect to do...?

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 1:40 PM

#

im saying

#

when i put wait

#

for the delay(1,function()

#

it pauses the script

#

this is a funciton

#

meaning a wait will pause the function the function is being called in

#

local function SpawnScenery()

    EndScenery()

    -------------------------- Background
    local Floor

    local Tunnel = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Scenery"):FindFirstChild(playerUI.Scenery.Scene.Value).Main.Tunnel:Clone() --- FIX!!!
    Tunnel.Parent = SceneryFolder    
    local tunnelY = math.random(37,60)
    Tunnel.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(Tunnel.PrimaryPart.CFrame.X, tunnelY, Tunnel.PrimaryPart.CFrame.Z) 
    EventsFolder.NewTunnel:FireServer(tunnelY)

    if SceneryFolder:FindFirstChild(playerUI.Scenery.Scene.Value .. "Floor") then

    else

        Floor.Parent = SceneryFolder
        Floor.Position = Vector3.new(Tunnel.PointPart.Position.X,0,Tunnel.PointPart.Position.Z * -16)
    end



    --SpawnTrees()
    SpawnBuildings()
    Tweens(Tunnel, Floor)


    if playerUI.GameInSession.Value == false then
        print("game not in sesstion")
        BuildingTween:Pause()

this is whats calling it

Hmm yes

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 1:52 PM

#

u see

cobalt pollen May 8, 2023, 1:54 PM

#

Delay doesn't stop the script

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 1:56 PM

#

wait does

#

and delay isnt being accurate

#

the buidlings arent spawning at a constant pause time

#

like

#

they start

#

correct

#

then they end up inside each other

steady olive May 8, 2023, 1:58 PM

#

try task.wait() then

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

ok

#

actually

#

i think that that isnt the issue

cobalt pollen May 8, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

tulip wigeon then they end up inside each other

I don't think the problem is the task.delay ?

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

nope

#

just realized

#

ima send a video

#

see the buildings spawn inside each other sometimes

#

and others they stack

#

ima send it with pastebin

task.wait(1)?

Screenshot_2023-05-08-16-26-44-334-edit_com.aliucord.jpg

#

Or while task.wait(1) loop?

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

add it there?

#

i just realized i had a tween

#

then i put wait

#

in the tweens() function

#

i hav e a tween

#

so that wait made it onger

#

still doign it

#

its liek it spawns 2 at one

#

it spawns 1 at once

#

then 2 at once

#

debounce\

#

?

#

omg

#

yo

#

the sceneryspawn function

#

is calling for the buildings

#

and also

#

the buildings function is calling fro the buildings

#

maybe thats the issue

what about? ```lua
task.delay(5,function()
-- runns after 5 seckonds without stopping the script
end)

tryin

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 3:18 PM

cobalt pollen ```lua local function SpawnScenery() EndScenery() --------------------...

the tunnel and the buildings go at a different pace

#

so if i make the task wait longer

#


    task.wait(1)
    if playerUI.GameInSession.Value == false then
        print("game not in sesstion")
        BuildingTween:Pause()

    else
        SpawnScenery()
        print(playerUI.GameInSession.Value)
        print("Spawn Scenery Function Called")
    end

end

#

i fi make it longer

#

the tunel spawns at a regular pace

#

but teh buildings have a big gap

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 4:11 PM

@cobalt pollen

long copper May 8, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

or

#

use task.wait

#

wait i just realized

#

im dumb

#

i need to read

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 4:12 PM

#

💀

long copper May 8, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

i would say use delay

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

yea

#

we are

long copper May 8, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

and have a function in it

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

💀💀💀

#

uhh

#

u kinda gotta read everything

#

also specify where

long copper May 8, 2023, 4:14 PM

#

i dont know much about task.delay

#

but uh

#

it seems good to me

#

idk im gonna just stop there

agile ruinBOT May 8, 2023, 4:15 PM

studio ** You are now Level 14! ** studio

long copper May 8, 2023, 4:15 PM

shut up

tulip wigeon May 8, 2023, 4:23 PM

#

bluds mad at the boy

#

bot

#

it’s fine bro

indigo breach May 8, 2023, 9:01 PM

#

tulip wigeon for the delay(1,function()

task.delay delays the function by the timeout

tulip wigeon May 9, 2023, 7:33 PM

#

yeah

#

we konw

#

you kinda gotta read from the beginning
