fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:00 AM

#

in this tutorial i was watching, it uses "Break" To stop the wave system in the tower defense, but when i use it in the same way, it says it needs to be placed inside a loop

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:04 AM

#

are you sure your following the tutorial right

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:05 AM

#

yea i did everything they did, everything else works except for this part

#

@jolly nexus do you know what i could do to fix it?

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:16 AM

#

lemme

#

print("Game Over")

#

you dont need the if and break

#

because the repeat until checks if the game is over already

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:17 AM

#

so do i just delete "IF gameOver then"

#

or

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:17 AM

#

yea

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:17 AM

#

so just print game over?

#

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:18 AM

#

yes

#

remove the end

#

underneath game over

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:18 AM

#

ok

#

but how do i make it so that when the gameover event happens, the waves stop happening

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:18 AM

#

bro i have no idea what that is

#

you have only showed me a little bit of the script

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

here lemme ss it

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

it should be in the tutorial

#

just check the tutorial

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

thats what the break thing was for

#

to stop the wave system

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:19 AM

#

what wave system

#

the repeat until?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

yea, a wave of enemys coming out

#

when the base health is 0

#

it will stop them from spawning

#

thats what the break was for

#

to stop the waves from happening

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

well it repeats until the game stops

#

so you dont even need the break

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:20 AM

#

it repeats until all 15 waves are done

jolly nexus Mar 28, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

yea idk

#

make sure your really really getting the tutorial right

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:21 AM

#

aight

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:28 AM

#

fiery crater

ur putting the code outside the repeat loop

#

look at this

#

put it isnide of the repeat loop

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:29 AM

#

and how would i do that erm

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:30 AM

#

repeat loop ends at until and then whatever you put after it and starts at repeat

#

so put it between line 108 and 110

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

#

so like that?

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:31 AM

#

should be that

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

ok lemme try it

#

the error is gone so thats a good sign

#

yea nah the waves still happen

#

even though the break is in place

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

why would it stop

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

idk that was the point of having the break

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

arent you just printing?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

nah it didnt print either

#

#

just printed the waves

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:37 AM

#

when is the game supposed to end?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

after 15 waves

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:38 AM

#

might want to remake some of this script?

#

the repeat loop doesnt wouldnt stop the waves anyway

#

so the repeat loop is messed up and seemingly useless rn until whatever else is broken is fixed

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

after the 15 waves it says game over

studio ** You are now Level 9! ** studio

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

fiery crater after the 15 waves it says game over

i thought you said it didnt work?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:43 AM

#

yea after 15 waves it prints game ovr

#

but i wanted it to print game over once the "gameOverEvent" is triggered

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

what does gameOverEvent do?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

game over event is triggered when the "Base" health is <= 0, and that causes the base to display "Base Destroyed"

#

#

thats the base

#

thats the script for the base

#

the base displays the current health

#

so like it would say "Base 500/500

#

smth like that

#

so my goal was, whenever the gameOverEvent is triggered, the wave system will stop

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:47 AM

#

oh, why dont you make it turn gameOver to true or something to that manner?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

thats the top of my main script

#

which is where my wave system is

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:48 AM

#

fiery crater

same script as this

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:52 AM

#

fiery crater

you could try connecting this directly to the event and stopping the waves maybe? im bout to go to sleep though

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:52 AM

#

idk how to do that

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:53 AM

#

i mean couldnt you just add the stop code inside of here?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:53 AM

#

#

that?

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

what code stops it at wave 15?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

#

that

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

fiery crater

a couple lines above this

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

fiery crater

how does it stop though? thats just spawning the mobs

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:56 AM

#

#

that i think

#

idk

#

the wave ends if there are no mobs on the map

#

see

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

no?

#

cause there's an if statement inside of the loop

#

that only checks for gameOver

#

maybe that's the issue? i cant really

#

tell

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

i can send the whole script if you want

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:58 AM

#

i got to go to sleep

#

if you still are having the issue when i wake up

#

ill help

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 7:59 AM

#

alright

quiet creek Mar 28, 2024, 7:59 AM

studio ** You are now Level 1! ** studio

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

you use a remote event to check when the game is over?

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

yea thats what the tutorial said to do

#

wait no

#

its a bindeable event

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:04 AM

#

ohh

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:05 AM

#

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:05 AM

#

fiery crater i can send the whole script if you want

ye go ahead and send the entire thing

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:05 AM

#

alright

#

#

#

#

base script

#

the top ones are for the wave system

#

ik its messy but

fiery crater

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:07 AM

#

😭

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:08 AM

#

fiery crater

why is this part not in the loop

if wave == 1
then task.wait(wave + 15)
end

#

wave isn't defined in that part of the code so it doesn't know what to check for

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:09 AM

#

man

#

idk

#

i made that part my self so its wrong

#

Shrug

vocal herald Mar 28, 2024, 8:09 AM

#

no wonder

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:10 AM

#

#

there i fixed it

vocal herald Mar 28, 2024, 8:10 AM

#

fiery crater

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:10 AM

#

dont

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:11 AM

#

fiery crater

um

#

it still won't know what wave is

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:12 AM

#

make a wave variable at the top and change it whenever the wave changes

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

idk how to do that

#

idk how to script

#

i just use tutorials

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

local wave = 0

#

then when the wave is changed

#

you would make the variable = to the wave

#

that way other parts of the script know what wave it's on

#

instead of just the for loop

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

like there or

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

yeah that'll work

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

ok what next

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

maybe change it to like CurrentWave or something

#

so you don't get confused

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:14 AM

#

change what to current wave

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

the variable you just made

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

#

that?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

then in the

for wave=1,15 do

#

make currentWave = wave

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

#

is that good?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

ye

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

okay

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

try testing it

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

yea i am rn

#

my map is pretty big so its gonna be a minute

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:17 AM

#

alright lol

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:18 AM

#

kthe base is about to die

#

nothing printed

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

what is it supposed to print

hollow martenBOT Mar 28, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

studio ** You are now Level 2! ** studio

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

oh

#

"Game over"

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:19 AM

#

yea

#

the next wave starts too

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

oh wait

#

lmfao

#

it's because the for loop is still running

#

so it never gets to the repeat

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

Itadori_hmm

#

theres an end at the end oft he wave system

#

doesnt that end the for loop?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

well yeah but that's after wave 15

#

the code is still running

#

task.spawn(function)

end)

#

put the for loop inside this

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:22 AM

#

ik

#

#

that?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

no the entire thing

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:23 AM

#

oh

#

so like

#

the wave system too?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

yes

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

oh okay

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

that's part of the loop

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

#

#

so that?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

yes

#

but

#

task.spawn(function()

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:24 AM

#

ok

#

#

#

so is it good now?

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

okay um

#

can you just copy and paste the script here I'll try to fix it for you

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

yes, sorry

there u go

#

do you want me to send the other script too

#

for the base health

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:27 AM

#

no that's okay

#

it's unrelated

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:27 AM

#

kk

#

tysm for helping me out btw

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

np

#

what is this part supposed to do

#

why are you making it wait

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

well that was supposed to make it so that after the wave starts, it has to wait like, 15 seconds before it ends

#

in case you are afk at the beginning

subtle kestrel Mar 28, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

I see

fiery crater Mar 28, 2024, 8:28 AM

#

it wont be wave 15 by the time you get back

#

but if all mobs die, then the wave ends right then and therer
