I tried print debugging but the output doesnt help me out

#

Here's script for reference:


cd = false

script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
    local Players = game:GetService("Players")
    local model = hit.Parent
    local hum = model:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
    local parts = model:GetChildren()
    local speed = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Gearbox.Speed.Value
    if hum and not hum:HasTag("sprayed") and speed ~= 0 and not cd then
        hum:AddTag("sprayed")
        print("cherry")
        cd = true
        local ColorVal = script.Parent.Parent["Color monitor"].Value.Value
        if ColorVal == 1 then
            print("waow")
            Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
                print("dang")
                plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(plrchar)
                    print("wtf")
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].HeadColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].LeftArmColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].RightArmColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].LeftLegColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].RightLegColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                    plrchar["Body Colors"].TorsoColor3 = Color3.fromRGB(255,0,0)
                end)
            end)
(...)
end)```

the (...) stands for the rest of the script, im focusing only on red for better reading

fast ember the (...) stands for the rest of the script, im focusing only on red for better ...

what is red?

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:09 PM

#

ColorVal = 1

#

from an external value

#

local ColorVal = script.Parent.Parent["Color monitor"].Value.Value

#

the random print lines are to see where does it break

#

so far it only prints until print("cherry"), and the console doesnt really tell me anything either

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:21 PM

#

i meant what is red in terms of what is highlighted or underlined red, but..

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:22 PM

#

fast ember local ColorVal = script.Parent.Parent["Color monitor"].Value.Value

what exactly is this? lua local ColorVal = script.Parent.Parent["Color monitor"].Value.Value if ColorVal == 1 then
is it an intvalue? colorvalue? a brickcolor named value with an intvalue named value parented to it and you missed out another .Value in that .Value.Value.Value.Value chain? i'm confuzed

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

its a numbervalue

#

if u press a red button, the value instance is set to 1

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

why is .Value.Value twice?

#

shouldn't it be only once?

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:23 PM

#

Value(name).value(property)

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

naming collisions yay 🎨

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:24 PM

#

theres no collisions bc there isnt two children named "value"

#

and if they were itd appear in my output as an error or warning

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:25 PM

#

why are you connecting players.playeradded in a .touched event? won't this make duplicate connections? lua if ColorVal == 1 then print("waow") Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) print("dang")

#

i probably tried to simulate localscript since im using a serverscript

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:26 PM

#

fast ember so far it only prints until print("cherry"), and the console doesnt really tell ...

as far as it only printing until "cherry";

    print("cherry")
    cd = true
    local ColorVal = script.Parent.Parent["Color monitor"].Value.Value
    if ColorVal == 1 then
        print("waow")

it would mean ColorVal is not ==1, you could put a breakpoint in there and look at the Watch variables tab and see what's going on

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:26 PM

#

does the double connection null the whole if clause tho? cuz i did not get a printing of "waow"

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

hoary wigeon as far as it only printing until "cherry"; > print("cherry") > c...

i did think of that

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

stuff like print(ColorVal) for example

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:27 PM

#

i put "reina" as a trigger when u press red and set it to 1

#

and it did print reina

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

reina isn't ColorVal

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:28 PM

#

fast ember i put "reina" as a trigger when u press red and set it to 1

or did you mean where it says "print("waow")" you changed the waow to "reina"?

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:29 PM

#

no no

#

i meant i put reina in the color monitor script where the buttons and numbers are initially changed

#

i also just did ur thing where it prints 1

#

it did print 1

#

it printed cherry

#

but nothing else

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

fast ember but nothing else

if math.round(ColorVal) == 1 then...

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:30 PM

#

what

#

i put no decimals why add round function?

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

fast ember what

you doubt me? hehe

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

not rlly i just want an explanation of why round it

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

fast ember not rlly i just want an explanation of why round it

floating point imprecision hehe

#

0.999 ~= 1.0

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

oh god...

#

not that thing 😭 i didnt even consider it

#

lemme try

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:31 PM

#

just a guess

#

the condition is failing, if it wasn't then the print would print, so, there aren't exactly many options as to how, assuming it's a numbervalue.value

#

;p

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

um

#

it didnt print nothing either 😭

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:33 PM

#

maybe u got error then

#

check output window

#

otherwise if(true) lol

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:34 PM

#

or rather i did not find the error, as ive consistently scanned the output several times previously

#

yup

#

no errors

#

it wont even tell me what the problem could be or anything

#

theres isnt anything either on warnings

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:37 PM

#

screenshot output window?

fast ember Apr 5, 2025, 7:38 PM

#

uhhh

#

its too big 😭

#

lemme try to expand it

#

hoary wigeon Apr 5, 2025, 7:56 PM

#

maybe clean some of that up?
