Hio! Its been a while now since i have asked for some help on the forums... So, just thought i would start doing it again. =)
No, actually that isnt the reason. So, here my problem. I have been trying to send a message to the people that will be playing in my new game. Obviously its not quite a normal message... otherwise i wouldnt be having trouble with it.
In this message, i want it to say the winning teams score. Thats basically it. Now, for some reason i cant get it to work... So, here is a part of my script, so you can see how i have it setted up.
while true do
wait(120)
local message = Instance.new("Message")
message.Text = "4 minutes remaning!"
message.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(4)
message.Parent = nil
wait(0.01)
message.Text = ("Red score:", redv, "Blue score:", bluev)
message.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(4)
message.Parent = nil
end
Now, the "redv" and "bluev" just stand for the red team's value and the blue team's value. Now, when i test this out it doesnt work, it doesnt even show the first message. So, i also tried this, since i saw it somewhere...
while true do
wait(120)
local message = Instance.new("Message")
message.Text = "4 minutes remaning!"
message.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(4)
message.Parent = nil
wait(0.01)
message.Text = string.format("Red score:", redv, "Blue score:", bluev)
message.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(4)
message.Parent = nil
end
I still dont get any errors, and this time it just shows the first message and part of the second one. All it shows for the second message is "Red score:", and nothing else. =(
So, i have been looking around at some of Telamon's places, like Glass Houses and the old christmas place. These places both have similar things as to what i want to do. So, i tried to model part of this script on those.
Im not really sure as to where my problem is, and any help would be great. =)

Maybe you could ask StealthPilot or miked. They have these in their places. |

Telling him who to ask is not really too much help Spyro. It's basiclly spam. |
|

Eh... That would be why i posted it here. This way, anyone that knows the answer can put it up, or anyone that has a idea about it.
Putting it up in the forums also allows people to see some stuff on scripting. Which could be helpfull to some.

Yeah, but I am starting to get sick of people reading threads and then just posting "idk what 2 do. ask sum1 els."
People, If you don't have anything useful to say outside the off-topic forum, don't post at all! |

So your saying it should be okay for people to post pointless messages when OTHER people are asking for help? (and I am sure they would want useful help) |

Yes, I do!
If not pointed out, the people who do this will think its okay and will CONTINUE doing it.

OK firstly Ill just make a small change, your first script kept changing the parent of the message when it did not need to.
As for building a string, it took me about a month to figure out how (hard to find anything about it anywhere) and when I did it was by accident. Its really simple but rarely found.
Two full-stops ".." in the middle is all you need to join two different strings or integers together.
message.Text = "Red score: " .. redv .. " Blue score: " .. bluev
Your final script goes like this (brackets arent needed but make it neater):
while true do
wait(120)
local message = Instance.new("Message")
message.Parent = game.Workspace
message.Text = "4 minutes remaning!"
wait(4)
message.Text = ("Red score: " .. redv .. " Blue score: " .. bluev)
wait(4)
message.Parent = nil
end |

Yeah, I knew that. Yeah, I'm still cool right? Right? Yeah, I'm cool...
Lol! But yeah, just do as Miked brang out. For some reason, going like "Red's Score: ", redv doesn't work. I think it used to work, because I saw some of this technique in action at Telamon's Christmas map. Point is, not anymore.

Yesa, your still cool Pilot! =)
Thanks miked, it works now. Finally sends the message completely.
I have encountered another small problem actually, and was wondering if someone had a idea on how to get around this. Since the message works now, i have noticed that it only sends out the number 0 for redv, and bluev. The starting value is 0 for redv and bluev. It increases after a certian even has taken place. Even after the certian event has taken place and the value has gone up, it still sends out 0.
I was thinking that maybe this has to do with when i said that bluev and redv = somthing. Like redv = game.Workspace.SGMP.Red.Value and then the script would go into the while true do below that.
I thought that might be the problem since i found out something similar like that in a regen script i made. =
So, if i didnt confuse you and you think you got a idea, please tell. =)

I thi kI know what the problem is, try this:
redv = game.Workspace.SGMP.Red
Then in the while true do, you do
redv.Value = yada yada yada.
Yeah, I think that should work. :)
