script in studio vs script in game

[tired belfry]

im honestly not even sure if i should put this in studio help or scripting help but the guis that ive scripted are working when i play test my game in studio, but not when i play test the game from roblox, and im at a total loss on why

no errors are displayed in the game when launched in roblox

Did you check the server one too? by clicking on the server tab of that in-game console

[tired belfry]

theres nothing

[bronze kiln]

Okay so if the game isn't loaded, it'll wait for it to be loaded, but nothing will happen after that.

[tired belfry]

is this what you mean?

if so, it still doesnt work :(

[bronze kiln]

If the first condition is met, it'll run game.Loaded:Wait() and do nothing else.

Only if the game is loaded at the moment the if is reached will the UIS connection happen

Just move the UIS connection out of the if statement entirely

still doesnt work

What's with the two while loops

[tired belfry]

it crashes my studio if its not there

** You are now Level 3! **

[bronze kiln]

but why do you have two of them

[tired belfry]

to fit an extra task.wait()

im not exactly sure why but if i dont have that extra tast.wait() itll crash my studio

[bronze kiln]

So you make an entire extra while loop just to fit in an extra task.wait? instead of just... calling task.wait twice?

[tired belfry]

thats honestly never occurred to me

okay it doesnt crash my studio anymore but it still doesnt work in game

[bronze kiln]

add some prints to see what is and isn't running

[tired belfry]

it prints everything just fine the way i want it to in studio but nothing happens in game

[bronze kiln]

So the logic issue is that, if the while loop is running, you're holding right.

So that means it'll never be "Q", as the only time it can reach the if statement is if the mouse button is pressed

[tired belfry]

alright, fixed 👍🏿

another issue has come up from this that i just noticed and its that for some reason its not consistent, sometimes i can join the game and itll work, but most times i have to reset first before itll work, and i have no idea why

[bronze kiln]

it's because you're doing CharacterAdded:Wait(). If the character is loaded before that, it'll wait until the next time the event happens, which is when you reset.

So you need to do player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait(), which means if the character is nil, wait for the character to be added. If it's not nil, then use it

[tired belfry]

i dont know if you meant like this but this still doesnt work

[bronze kiln]

Almost, wrong way around though

[tired belfry]

still doesnt work

[bronze kiln]

You didn't change line 2. that's the one that's the wrong way around

[tired belfry]

oh

okay thank you so much it works consistently now the way i want it to
