Alright there HAS to be a more simple way of doing this
while wait(1) do
local Playable = true
if CarAlarmCooldown.Value == 0 then
for i = 1, Interval * 60 do
if CarAlarmCooldown.Value ~= 0 then Playable = false end
wait(1)
end
if Playable then
Alarm:Play()
end
end
end
end)```The script works how i cant to but i swear theres gotta be an easier way to do this
wraith field
task.spawn(function()
while true do
if CarAlarmCooldown.Value == 0 then
local t = tick()
repeat task.wait(1) until CarAlarmCooldown.Value ~= 0 or tick() - t >= Interval * 60
if CarAlarmCooldown.Value == 0 then Alarm:Play() end
end
task.wait(1)
end
end)```

That is arguably worse

so basically every once in a while an alarm will go off but people can pay to make it so it doesn’t go off,
and doing wait(interval*60) will still have the alarm go off once that wait is done even if CarAlarmCooldown.Value == 0

I misread easier as like... more condensed that is my bad.

what exactly is this code supposed to do? it looks like you start a timer and if the value is 0 at the end of the timer it plays the sound?
fast mango
yeah that’s it, But the wait can be anywhere from 2-5minutes
and i’m just making sure that within those 2-5minutes someone doesn’t turn it off

why is it called CarAlarmCooldown? what's the cooldown for?
what values can this be other than 0 or not 0? what is the value meant to represent?
fast mango
CarAlarmCooldown is a number value in the Player, is is the amount of seconds the player has payed to keep the alarm off
value will start at like 3600 whenever the player pays and will -1 every second

you mean like gta stealing cars?
fast mango
yeah
the car alarm is just annoying as hell and i thought it’d be funny to have to make the play pay currency to turn it off
for an hour at a time
long zenith
why do you compare CarAlarmCooldown to 0? are you changing it every frame?
i.e you have a second while loop that does while(true) do cooldown -= 1 ?
fast mango
i have the while wait(1) so that once the interval is over and the car alarm plays the interval will start again
and eventually play the car alarm again
and yes caralarmcooldown is reduced by 1 every second
so eventually it’ll hit 0
long zenith
state machine is probably better
like lua alarmingplrs={} function tripalarm(plr) if alarmingplrs[plr] then return end alarmingplrs[plr]=task.delay(Interval*60,alarm.Play,alarm) end function stopalarm(plr) if not alarmingplrs[plr] then return end pcall(task.cancel,alarmingplrs[plr]) alarmingplrs[plr]=nil if alarm.IsPlaying then alarm:Stop() end end or something
then you don't need to reduce cooldown by 1 every second, but i mean if you wanted to do that then you can just add the conditions in getpropertychangedsignal
