Why is it when I trigger the proximityprompt, it changes the "stringMutationValue" value? [SOLVED]

Can you just paste your issue here instead? Accessing that link on mobile says its private or doesn't exist

[fiery spruce]

like this? also the issue is that it changes value without me even doing anything

but triggering a proximity

    prox.Triggered:Connect(function(plr)
        print(stringMutationValue.Value.." Line 416")

I need more of the code that's inside the Triggered connection

[fiery spruce]

this problem came out of the blue

[heady spindle]

Uh so all of this code has multiple places where it changes the value

I think I need more context

Horrific

[fiery spruce]

stringMutationValue doesnt change tho

is it this?

Why is it when I trigger the proximityprompt, it changes the "stringMutationValue" value?

[fiery spruce]

im basically asking why the stringMutationValue changes in 2 lines of code

it'd be easier to see the full script

jeez sorry i asked, what a disaster

    task.spawn(function()
        while task.wait() do
            local randomMythic=SodaTable[RNG:NextInteger(0, #SodaTable)]
            for i, v in pairs(mutationTable) do
                weight2-=mutationTable[i][2]
                if chosen2>weight2 then
                    stringMutationValue.Value=mutationTable[i][1]    
                    break
                end
            end```

[fiery spruce]

it wasnt a problem before but its a problem now

[hot sinew]

there's yer problem

[fiery spruce]

doesnt the top one matter?

[hot sinew]

idk this code is really bad

[fiery spruce]

i just do things the simple and complicated way man

[hot sinew]

ye this is the point where s1 beginner patterns fail

[fiery spruce]

s1?

[hot sinew]

scripter ranking ;o

you share this instance value throughout your code and change it in all sorts of places for different reasons between yields and whatnot local stringMutationValue=sodamodel:WaitForChild("MutationValue")

it is bound to fail because of this

task.spawn(function()
    while task.wait(3) do
        chanceSystem()
    end
end)```

beginner level patterns can only get you so far and you have crazy nesting, time to level up maybe? you may learn a lot from this

                                            end)
                                        end)
                                    end
                                end
                            end
                        end
                    end
                end``` https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFRhGnuXG-4

every time i do that it automatically puts me to like another area

of the entire script

when i press enter

[fiery spruce]

@hot sinew i took your "nest your code" thing and it somehow worked and made tweaks in my other script

and just removed the entire "stringmutationvalue" thing

also made the script a modulescript for some reason but still works

https://pastebin.com/2KX0Y6E0

nevermind i lied it does the same thing

[fiery spruce]

scratch everything i just said again

[hot sinew]

looking better but your chancesystem() function is still a giga function with insane nesting

[fiery spruce]

i mean as long as it works right lol

[hot sinew]

that only applies to beginners

because in your case

it doesn't work now does it?

[fiery spruce]

it works now
