why is my script ignoring the for i,v in ipairs do?

[amber flame]

does it print hello

[urban bronze]

no.

the msg.text = text, the "text"" is from the function.

when doing the message("hello") it sets the text of the msg to the "text" of the function

[amber flame]

is that the whole script?

[urban bronze]

yes

[amber flame]

repeat wait() until game.Players.numPlayers >= 0
where are you getting "numPlayers"

[urban bronze]

from players?

[amber flame]

i never seen that used. i would do :
#game.Players:GetChildren()
cuz that will give the number of players in the game

[urban bronze]

but it works.

@amber flame

But that doesnt answer my question somehow.

i just asked why my script ignores the for i,v

[amber flame]

well if something gets ignored then i think there has to be a problem happening in the lines of code before that

ok i put the code in a script and i changed the first line of code with:
repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 0
and it worked

[urban bronze]

u sure?

[amber flame]

are you getting any error messages

[urban bronze]

oh right

[urban bronze]

zero output

[amber flame]

where do you have your script

[urban bronze]

in serverscriptservice

btw ignore math

i use it for fun

[amber flame]

this is what i get when i run the script

which means the lines of code in the loop are running

[urban bronze]

how do i make all players get an pistol then

it doesnt even work with function

[stray gull]

Wouldn't it be better with game.Players:GetPlayers()?

[urban bronze]

i moved it to function

still didnt fork

[urban bronze]

i already added :getplayers.

that was solved

now i need to see why my script ignores my function.

[amber flame]

ye u right my mistake

[amber flame]

i think this might be easier if you let me join your studio, would you be down for that?

[urban bronze]

i dont trust any people

[zealous cedar]

** You are now Level 10! **

[urban bronze]

i have trust issues

[amber flame]

you can make a copy of the game and let me join the copy and not the main

[urban bronze]

the game is simple

there is no back code

there is just 3 models

that does not interact with any script

there you go

[amber flame]

repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 0

function message(text)
local msg = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
msg.Name = "GameMessage"
msg.Text = text

end
function endmessage()
if workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage") ~= nil then
workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage"):Destroy()
else
return
end
end

message("hello")
for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local gun = game.Lighting.Weapons.Pistol:Clone()
gun.Parent = v.Backpack
end
wait(3)
endmessage()

so this doesnt work?

[urban bronze]

wait

this is the new code

repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 0

function weapon()

for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
local gun = game.Lighting.Weapons.Pistol:Clone()
gun.Parent = v.Backpack
end
end
function message(text)
local msg = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
msg.Name = "GameMessage"
msg.Text = text

end
function endmessage()
if workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage") ~= nil then
workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage"):Destroy()
else
return
end
end

message("hello")
weapon()
wait(3)
endmessage()

[amber flame]

why do you even have the weapons in lighting

[urban bronze]

idk

[stray gull]

Put it in replicated storage or server storage

[urban bronze]

wait

i put it on debris?

[stray gull]

What?

[amber flame]

bro what

[urban bronze]

wait what year is it rn

4

[stray gull]

??

[amber flame]

bro just download a copy of the game and send it

[zealous cedar]

** You are now Level 11! **

[carmine narwhal]

Bros just waffling

[urban bronze]

that is all of the script

bruh

[amber flame]

bro like do you need help or na idk if ur trolling

[urban bronze]

im not trolling bro

wdym

all i asked was

why does my for i,v doesnt work...

hello3

[stray gull]

Did you put like a print inside the for i,v?

[urban bronze]

no

[stray gull]

So you can do it to see if that's the issue, if it doesn't print anything in the output

[amber flame]

well idk what to tell you bro, the script ima send rn literally runs the loop

repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 0

function message(text)
local msg = Instance.new("Message", workspace)
msg.Name = "GameMessage"
msg.Text = text

end
function endmessage()
if workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage") ~= nil then
workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage"):Destroy()
else
return
end
end

message("hello")
for i,v in ipairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local gun = game.Lighting.Weapons.Pistol:Clone()
gun.Parent = v.Backpack
end
wait(3)
endmessage()

[urban bronze]

are we deadhuzzz

?

[amber flame]

did you paste that in

[carmine narwhal]

Why u even using message

[urban bronze]

.

dude

i use message all the time...

[carmine narwhal]

i would refrain from using deprecated objects

[urban bronze]

b-but theyre retro 🥺

[amber flame]

gl with ur game bro

[stray gull]

I mean like, i think you want to make a chat bubble right?

[urban bronze]

no?

[carmine narwhal]

make it with a text label 😀

[stray gull]

So what is it?

[urban bronze]

too lazy

[urban bronze]

my for i,v is getting ignore

[stray gull]

I'm talking about your system, not this part

[carmine narwhal]

it’s a message bro

😂

[urban bronze]

B-But i want it retro

[amber flame]

this is what it looks like

[urban bronze]

even tho i first joined in 2018

[carmine narwhal]

i was answering about the system

[stray gull]

Ohh i get it now

[urban bronze]

it basically just generates an message

[stray gull]

Well just make yourself one with text label

[carmine narwhal]

Create a TextLabel

Set Size to {1,0},{1,0}

Position to {0.5,0},{0.5,0}

Anchor point to 0.5, 0.5

Set background color to [128, 128, 128]

Set BackgroundTransparency to 0.5

Set BorderSizePixel to 0

Set FontFace to Arial

Set TextSize to 21

Set TextStrokeTransparency to 0

[zealous cedar]

** You are now Level 10! **

[carmine narwhal]

there u go

[stray gull]

It's better than using deprecated things tbh

[urban bronze]

AHH

IT HURTS

I DONT WANNA SEE IT

NOT RETRO

[carmine narwhal]

literally the same 😂

[urban bronze]

NO IT ISNT

[carmine narwhal]

replica of the effect

[stray gull]

Then make it the way you want?

[urban bronze]

repeat wait() until #game.Players:GetPlayers() > 0
function weapon ()
for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
local gun = game.ReplicatedStorage.Weapons.Pistol:Clone()
gun.Parent = v.Backpack
end

end
function message(text)
local msg = Instance.new("ScreenGui", game.StarterGui)
local textr = Instance.new("TextLabel", msg)
textr.Size = UDim2.new(1,0,2,0)
textr.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,-0.5,0)
textr.BackgroundTransparency = 0.5
textr.TextSize = 45
msg.Name = "GameMessage"
textr.Text = text
end
function endmessage()
if game.StarterGui:WaitForChild("GameMessage") ~= nil then
game.StarterGui:WaitForChild("GameMessage"):Destroy()
else
return
end
end
weapon()
message("hello")

wait(3)
endmessage()

[drifting topaz]

If you want to get the specific player object, it’s probably better to use game.Players:GetPlayers() then game.Players:GetChildren()

[haughty hill]

why ipairs

[stray gull]

He changed it to pairs in the new script

[haughty hill]

u dont need that too

the for loopis not working cuz its placed wrong

everything is fine

its just placed wrong

[stray gull]

I thought the problem was that he was using a deprecated instance

[haughty hill]

    for i,v in game.Players:GetChildren() do
        print(v)
        local gun = Instance.new("Tool",workspace):Clone()
        gun.Parent = v.Backpack
    end
   task.wait(3)
    if workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage") ~= nil then
        workspace:WaitForChild("GameMessage"):Destroy()
    else
        return
    end
end```

this works

I changed a bit

for my own testing

but this is how u should do it

[urban bronze]

yo,,,

ur too late

too SAD!

BAD!
