I need Help =(

[upbeat heron]

I need help with my tower defense, this is my wave system, and i want to know how to have it start the next wave after it prints wave end, i do not know much about scripting so im asking here 🙂

[latent garden]

** You are now Level 3! **

[upbeat heron]

this is the 2nd half of my wave system code

I want it to start the next wave right after it prints "Wave ended"

idk how to script it though

[valid umbra]

try putting the print statment after the repeat until

which should print wave ended after the mobs die

[upbeat heron]

well, i want the wave to end even if the mobs are still on the map

[valid umbra]

then do you want a time limit or something?

when is the wave gonna end then

[upbeat heron]

yea like have it so the wave will end after a certain amount of time, and then have the next wave start like 3 seconds after the previous wave ended

the wave will end a certain amount of time after it started, depending on what wave it is

[valid umbra]

ok then remove the reapeat untntill

and just add a task.wait

also whats the task.spawn function doing?

its not gonna yield the code

[upbeat heron]

i have no clue tbh

[valid umbra]

yeah its not needed either

[upbeat heron]

k lemme try it and see if it works

[valid umbra]

so just add like task.wait(60) and then print wave ended and task.wait(3)

[upbeat heron]

where do i add task wait (60)

and how would i make it so that it scales with the wave #

like on wave 1 it ends after 10 seconds and then on wave 2 it ends after 15

[valid umbra]

like where the repeat statment was

[upbeat heron]

smth like that

so delete this?

[valid umbra]

ok base the time on waves

ye

[upbeat heron]

ok

[valid umbra]

so you can say if wave == 1 then task.wait(10) end

or base it on a increament

[upbeat heron]

i have it like that

what would i change

[valid umbra]

if wave ==

[valid umbra]

end

[upbeat heron]

okay

[valid umbra]

also make it on the same line if its still red

[upbeat heron]

it is

[valid umbra]

leme do it in my studio to ezplain it better

[upbeat heron]

okay

want me to copy the code for you or nah

oh hey it works now

[valid umbra]

wait hold on do you want it to increase by 5 secs each wave`?

[upbeat heron]

i was going to have it be higher because its a 15 wave system

[valid umbra]

so waht increament

[upbeat heron]

but yes that would work

probably 15 seconds increase

each wave

[valid umbra]

ok then all you need is

[upbeat heron]

in case they are afk at start the waves will still go by

[valid umbra]

you dont need the if statment

[upbeat heron]

ok ok

tysm bro

[valid umbra]

just do that

[upbeat heron]

ive been asking so many people but

nobody understood how to do it

[valid umbra]

np

[upbeat heron]

BRO

[jaunty token]

Use tables for that 💀

[upbeat heron]

hh

huh

[jaunty token]

Like this is unreadable and not scalable
What you can do is a table that holds the data

local waveSpawn = {
  {
    Zombie = 6
  },
  {
    Zombie = { 4, 4 },
    Noob = 1
  },
  -- ... Other stuff 
}

local wave = 2
print(waveSpawn[wave]) -- to get the spawned mobs on this wave

And then just loop through your spawn waves

;compile

[jaunty token]

But this is a really good effort if you are new to programming, but you should learn tables since you can pretty much do anything with them

[upbeat heron]

yea thank you

[oak torrent]

Could you help me with my script?https://discord.com/channels/448986884497211392/1221390365072822282

[upbeat heron]

i didnt know what tables were so

@jaunty token i do have another question not about the wave thing

i can dm you about it if you want but

[jaunty token]

Sure

[jaunty token]

No ask it in the server

[upbeat heron]

k

[jaunty token]

This way other people than me could aenser

[upbeat heron]

okay

[jaunty token]

I gtg in some minutes so

[upbeat heron]

so i have a system where these "Mobs" walk/run to waypoints since its a td game and they run along the track, but sometimes they basically skip or dont actually hit the waypoints, is there a simple way i can fix it?

i can send a pic of my script for the waypoints

thats what i have

top is for waypoints

bottom doesnt matter thats just for collisions

this is my base map as a placeholder

the gray blocks are waypoints

yellow block is starting spot

is there a way to make it a 100% accurate run path?

like they are turning on the stud to the right of the waypoint

the zombies atleast are

and my "Mechs" are just completely skipping it

💀

[jaunty token]

That's weird, but if you really want them to always go for the waypoint you want, you can read what's PathFinding so like this you're sure that they will go to your waypoint, but it's weird since the code you shown to move the mobs seems accurate enough to do what you need

[upbeat heron]

could i just make it so that they run to a specific coordinate?

would that fix it do you think?

cause these guys do not want to go to the waypoint idk why

[jaunty token]

Well yes, instead of using the part coordinates you can use your vector3

[upbeat heron]

whats vector3?

[jaunty token]

But if the part I see here on the left is the good part it should work to there

[upbeat heron]

yes it is, but they just skip it early for some reason and i cant figure out why

[jaunty token]

Positionned data, which is a point in a 3d coordinate

[upbeat heron]

oh okay

[jaunty token]

That's weird yes

[upbeat heron]

it does it in different spots too

its weird

and inconsistent

like at the end sometimes the same thing will hapen

they will cut the corner

@jaunty token do you know a basic script to change my zombies walkspeed?

if not its okay just wanted to ask

[jaunty token]

Just do zombieCharacter.WalkSpeed = 30

[latent plinth]

this code is so abhorrent my eyes are bleeding plz stop

yandere dev ahh code 💀
