Roblox Studio Problems with Coden the UI Elements, what need to to? - lua

Good day,
i have the problem that i wana make my visit ui only visible when i am at spawn so at first i wanted to do it with checking the team but i dont found any solousion on how to check which player is in which and than disable/enable ui for them. So after this i made an bool inside of the ui named Loby and got it to work that it turns on / off based on where you are but the problem is that i dont get the ui working i tried this now for serveral hours but i just dont get it and i dont know why. Its only prints not in Loby else if im in Loby or in a round ;(, i hope someone can help me!, Good day

Unable to assign property AnimationId. Content expected, got nil

I don't know what's happening, but i'm getting that error in output. Apparently every animations of the Anims table and normalcombo table exists, and the property too.

The error send me to this line: "animation.AnimationId = normalcombo[combo]"
The error is telling you that normalcombo[combo] is returning nil when it should be a content url. That means that combo isn't a value between 1 and #normalcombo (4).
The only place where that could be is here :
if tick() - lastM1Time > .7 then
combo = 0
end
Here you are resetting the combo counter, but you set it too low. Arrays in lua are 1-indexed. You need to set it to :
combo = 1

So, this is my horrible code for a little game I am making. It's kind of similar to Flee the Facility. In my game, the person who is the 'beast' should be able to drag a player when they are knocked out, but they can't. I tried adding a rope constraint to the ragdoll and the 'beast', but it just makes the beast have input lag and makes it's animations go weird.
I must note that the beast is a random player. I would try setting ownership of the ragdoll'd player to the grabber (which is the 'beast') but I need to set it to the server in order to change the state to Physics. I would use an event and a local script but I do not want this to be exploitable at all.
So, my question is: How do I attach a rope from a player to a ragdolled player without the non-ragdolled player lagging or having weird input lag and weird animations?
Like I said, I tried setting ownership but that wouldn't work as I need server ownership for setting the humanoid's state to physics. Just using takeOwnership() then ChangeState both on the same line wouldn't work so I had to put it in the while loop.

How to a team system ? (Roblox)

im trying to make a tag game that one player from the spectate team or nutural team will be chosen to be the tag and another will be chosen to be the runner. They'll both teleport to a small map, there the tag will have to try catch the runner before the times up.
Now my problem is that when the player loads to the game he does'nt autoassigned to the nuturalteam(spectateteam) and also when the players tp to the map they wont change the teams to a tager and runner they'll both be in the same team. Help will be appriciated!
Also i dont get any errors in the outpot besides "loadstring is not availble".
Here is the round system script:
Teams = game:GetService("Teams")
local SpectateTeam = game.Teams.Spectate
local ItTeam = game.Teams.It
local RunnerTeam = game.Teams.Runner
local roundlength = 5
local intermissionLength = 4
local inRound = game.ReplicatedStorage.InRound
local Status = game.ReplicatedStorage.Status
local LobbySpawn = workspace.Map.SpawnLobby
local MapSpawnIt = workspace.Map.SpawnMapIt
local MapSpawnRunner = workspace.Map.SpawnMapRunner
local frame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGuimenu.Frame
local KillerSpawn = workspace.Map.SpawnMapIt
local lobbyspace = workspace.Lobbyspace
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Team = SpectateTeam
end)
inRound.Changed:Connect(function(player)
if inRound.Value == true then
local chosen = Players:GetChildren()[math.random(1, #Players:GetChildren())]
print(" is It")
chosen.Team = ItTeam
local runner = SpectateTeam:GetPlayers()[math.random(1, #Players:GetChildren())]
print(" is Runner")
runner.Team = Teams.Runner
wait()
runner.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = MapSpawnRunner.CFrame
chosen.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = KillerSpawn.CFrame
end
if inRound.Value == false then
for _, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren(player)) do
local char = player.Character
char.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = LobbySpawn.CFrame
player.Team = SpectateTeam
end
end
end)
local function RoundTimer()
while wait() do
for i = intermissionLength, 0, -1 do
inRound.Value = false
wait(1)
Status.Value = "Intermission:" .. i .."seconds left!"
end
for i = roundlength, 0, -1 do
inRound.Value = true
wait(1)
Status.Value = "Game:" .. i .."seconds left!"
end
end
end
spawn(RoundTimer) ```
I found the answer! i just forgot to sync the color of the teams with the spawns :)

Why does Roblox & Roblox Studio both crash when running certain scripts with no error code?

So here's the deal, I'm working on a game that is similar to a murder mystery and this part of the system is to start the round and show the players their roles and then the map. Except it used to work and I didn't knowingly do anything to the scripts that would affect it so the game crashes when this part is carried out. All I know is it starts to display the role and often does, it also plays the sound and displays the correct description, however it crashes just after that and sometimes just before the role is revealed. I've attached the function that runs when the RoundStarter event is fired to the client.
The server doesn't crash but, all of the clients do but not all at the exact same moment in time; Previously when there has been errors, I've been able to identify an error message but none of the clients throw any clear issues.
In testing mode in Roblox Studio, they freeze just after the drum roll sound effect as the role is displayed, however no errors and the server seems to be acting normally. Near enough the same thing happens when ran in Roblox.

--This is then followed by the rest of the round system which should be working but I have cut it to try to shorten the amount of reading but can be supplied if needed. It is closed correctly.
I've tried to keep the code to a minimum however it could be anywhere and as there are no obvious script related error codes, I'm requesting some assistance in some way.
There are other things that may have caused it but this is becoming a real issue, especially since it used to work, and I've included all of the likely suspects but I'm happy to give anything else if these aren't incorrect in anyway.
If you wish to see what happens yourself, you'll need either 4 Roblox Accounts or 3 extra friends.
Here's the game on Roblox: The Masquerade
If anything else is needed, feel free to let me know and thanks for reading and any potential help. (Just so you know, I have done a lot of research on all of the functions and things I'm using but I can't find any issues, it just freezes & crashes).
The only error codes I've got are:
Start Process Exception...

There are some random wait() statements without any arguments, which shouldn't be in your code anyway. This may very well hang up the server / client.
Also, you appear to have a few while loops which do not have any wait()'s. That's a pretty common problem which stalls the client executing the script. Try adding at least
wait(0.01) to the end of each while true loop that doesn't have it already.
There might be some occurences of this in the client as well (like that one lonely wait() with no parameters), but here's a modified version of your server script:
while true do
while script.RoundsRunning.Value == true do
game.ReplicatedStorage.Players.Events.Notify:FireAllClients("Intermission...","L",false)
--game.ReplicatedStorage.Game.Intermission:Fire(30)
--game.ReplicatedStorage.Game.Intermission.Event:Wait()
wait(35)

--game.ReplicatedStorage.Players.Events.Notify:FireAllClients("Round starting soon...","L",true)
--game.Workspace.Lobby.DATABOARD.SurfaceGui.Frame.Time.Text = ""
if not game.Workspace.Map then
playersinthemap = {}
local Mapfolder = Instance.new("Folder",game.Workspace)
Mapfolder.Name = "Map"
end
playersinserver = game.Players:GetPlayers()
wait(10)
playersinserver = game.Players:GetPlayers()
if #playersinserver >= 4 or (TESTINGMODE == true and #playersinserver >= 3) then
game.Workspace.Lobby.DATABOARD.SurfaceGui.Frame.Title.Text = "Round loading..."
game.ReplicatedStorage.Players.Events.Notify:FireAllClients("Loading the round now...","L",false)
playersinserver = game.Players:GetPlayers()
local chosenMapIndex = math.random(#maplist)
local chosenMapName = maplist[chosenMapIndex]
local chosenShadowIndex = math.random(#playersinserver)
local chosenShadow = playersinserver[chosenShadowIndex]

end
local playernumber = playersinserver

while COUNT ~= #playersinserver do
COUNT += 1
local playername = playersinserver[COUNT].Name
print (playersinserver)
print ("Player trying to send role data:"..playername)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Players[playersinserver[COUNT].Name].Status.Value = "Shadow"
--temp = game.ReplicatedStorage.ReadStatus:Invoke(playername,"Shadow")

end
end
-- wait() useless wait
local MapInServerStorage = game.ServerStorage.Maps:FindFirstChild(chosenMapName)
local LoadedMap = MapInServerStorage:Clone()
LoadedMap.Parent = game.Workspace.Map
local spawns = {}
for i,c in pairs(LoadedMap:GetDescendants()) do
if c.Name == "Spawn" then
table.insert(spawns,1,c)
end
end
COUNT = 0
local i = COUNT
while COUNT ~= #playersinserver do
COUNT += 1
print ("Setting Character locations. Loop:"..COUNT)
local spawnlistindex = math.random(#spawns)
playersinserver[COUNT].Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(spawns[spawnlistindex].CFrame)
--playersinserver[COUNT].Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(LoadedMap.Spawns.Spawn.CFrame)
table.insert(playersinthemap,1,playersinserver[COUNT])
playersinserver[COUNT].NameDisplayDistance = 0

These are just the rough steps, so implant the changes in your code the way you want them to be.

Why do I keep getting the error "attempt to index nil with 'Cash' in my script?

For a bit of context, I'm making a Tycoon on Roblox to test my knowledge in lua. Everything was working fine until I tried making leaderstats. The first script, which is what makes the Tycoon
function, is here:
local TycoonInfo = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TycoonInfo")
local OwnerValue = TycoonInfo:WaitForChild("Owner")
local Buttons = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Buttons")
local Purchases = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Purchases")
local Objects = {}
function validateHitByOwner(Hit)
if Hit and Hit.Parent and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Player and OwnerValue.Value== Player then
return true
end
end
return false
end
for i,v in pairs(Buttons:GetChildren()) do
local Object = Purchases:FindFirstChild(v.Object.Value)
if Object then
Objects[Object.Name] = Object:Clone()
Object:Destroy()
if v:FindFirstChild("Dependency") then
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
v.Button.Transparency = 1
v.Button.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
v.Button.CanCollide = false
if Purchases:WaitForChild(v.Dependency.Value,90000) then
v.Button.Transparency = 0
v.Button.CanCollide = true
v.Button.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
end
end))
end
local DB = false
v.Button.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if validateHitByOwner(Hit)then
if DB == false then
DB = true
if v.Button.Transparency == 0 then
local Purchased = DoPurchase(Hit,v,v.Price.Value,Objects[v.Object.Value])
if Purchased then
warn("Purchased")
else
warn("Can't purchase")
end
end
DB = false
end
end
end)
end
end
function DoPurchase(Hit,Button,Cost,Object)
if Hit and Hit.Parent and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Player and OwnerValue.Value == Player then
local name = game.Players:GetChildren()
local CashValue = game.Players.name.leaderstats.Cash -- Error here
if CashValue then
if CashValue.Value >= Cost then
CashValue.Value = CashValue.Value - Cost
Object.Parent = Purchases
Button:Destroy()
return true
end
end
end
end
return false
end
The next script, which makes the leaderboard and assigns a player that has recently joined to a random available Tycoon, is here:
function FindEmptyTycoon()
for i,v in pairs(workspace.Tycoons:GetChildren()) do
if v.TycoonInfo.Owner.Value == nil then
return v
end
end
return nil
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Tycoon = FindEmptyTycoon()
Tycoon.TycoonInfo.Owner.Value = Player
local stats = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
Cash.Name = "Cash"
end)
And then, the script that is stored in all purchasable items to give the Player money, is here:
function giveCash(player)
wait(3.33)
local Cash = player.leaderstats.Cash
Cash.Value = Cash.Value + 2
end
By the way, these scripts are versions of the original scripts that I've been trying to edit so they can actually work, and I think I've been getting close to fixing the errors. The original scripts can be found here (in order of appearance):
local TycoonInfo = script.Parent:WaitForChild("TycoonInfo")
local OwnerValue = TycoonInfo:WaitForChild("Owner")
local Buttons = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Buttons")
local Purchases = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Purchases")
local Objects = {}
function validateHitByOwner(Hit)
if Hit and Hit.Parent and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Player and OwnerValue.Value== Player then
return true
end
end
return false
end
for i,v in pairs(Buttons:GetChildren()) do
local Object = Purchases:FindFirstChild(v.Object.Value)
if Object then
Objects[Object.Name] = Object:Clone()
Object:Destroy()
if v:FindFirstChild("Dependency") then
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
v.Button.Transparency = 1
v.Button.BillboardGui.Enabled = false
v.Button.CanCollide = false
if Purchases:WaitForChild(v.Dependency.Value,90000) then
v.Button.Transparency = 0
v.Button.CanCollide = true
v.Button.BillboardGui.Enabled = true
end
end))
end
local DB = false
v.Button.Touched:Connect(function(Hit)
if validateHitByOwner(Hit)then
if DB == false then
DB = true
if v.Button.Transparency == 0 then
local Purchased = DoPurchase(Hit,v,v.Price.Value,Objects[v.Object.Value])
if Purchased then
warn("Purchased")
else
warn("Can't purchase")
end
end
DB = false
end
end
end)
end
end
function DoPurchase(Hit,Button,Cost,Object)
if Hit and Hit.Parent and Hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
local Player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(Hit.Parent)
if Player and OwnerValue.Value == Player then
local CashValue = game.ServerStorage.PlayerCash:FindFirstChild(Player.Name)
if CashValue then
if CashValue.Value >= Cost then
CashValue.Value = CashValue.Value - Cost
Object.Parent = Purchases
Button:Destroy()
return true
end
end
end
end
return false
end
function FindEmptyTycoon()
for i,v in pairs(workspace.Tycoons:GetChildren()) do
if v.TycoonInfo.Owner.Value == nil then
return v
end
end
return nil
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Tycoon = FindEmptyTycoon()
Tycoon.TycoonInfo.Owner.Value = Player
local stats = Instance.new("BoolValue",Player)
stats.Name = "leaderstats"
stats.Parent = game.ServerStorage
local Cash = Instance.new("IntValue",stats)
Cash.Name = Player.Name
Cash.Value = 0
Cash.Parent = game.ServerStorage.PlayerCash
end)
local amount = 2
local timedelay = 2.33
local currencyname = "Cash"
wait(1)
while true do
wait(timedelay)
for i,v in pairs(game.ServerStorage.PlayerCash:GetChildren()) do
if v:FindFirstChild("leaderstats") and v then
v.leaderstats[currencyname].Value = v.leaderstats[currencyname].Value + amount
end
end
end
local name = game.Players:GetChildren()
Why do you store the list of Players's children in a variable called name? This function returns a table. name would be more suitable for a string.
local CashValue = game.Players.name.leaderstats.Cash -- Error here
game.Players is https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/Players
I cannot make sense of game.Players.name and even less of game.Players.name.leaderstats
Did you mean Player.leaderstats?
I would expect an error message for Players.name.leaderstats before facing an error for game.Players.name.leaderstats.Cash
name is not a Property of Players so you should not be allowed to index Players.name
I'm no Roblox expert but from what I see your code is so off that you really should start with simple tutorials rather than with fixing this code.
I think you should start over and make sure you understand how Instance.new is used properly and such things.
Using better variable names will also help.
