I am trying to do
local a = 1
for i,v in pairs(getloadedmodules()) do
if v:IsA("ModuleScript") then
v.Name = a = a + 1
end
end
But obviously that doesn't work because of the = sign after a. Is there any workaround to this?
local a = 1
for i,v in pairs(getloadedmodules()) do
if v:IsA("ModuleScript") then
a = a + 1
v.Name = a
end
end

I am currently in the process of making a game known as Elf Tycoon. This game involves the player buying elves, (dummy character rigs as placeholders). These characters are then aligned in rows of 8, going on forever. I am having an issue with the system. It seems that every floor apart from the first has its first elf slightly lower than the others. Attached is a screenshot of the issue, and the code is below.
local elvesFolder = script.Parent.Elves
local elfValues = script.Parent.ElfValues
local tycoonLevel2 = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Tycoon Level 2")
local repStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local tycoonRoof = script.Parent["Tycoon Roof"]
local currentNumberOfFloors = 1
local currentLevel = 2
local elves = 60
local remainingElves = 60
local number_of_floors = math.floor(elves/9)-1
local tierOneElf = script.Parent.Elves:FindFirstChild("T1 Elf")
local function ResetTycoon()
for i,v in pairs(elvesFolder:GetChildren()) do
v:Destroy()
end
for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name == "New Tycoon Level" or v.Name == "Tycoon Level 2" then
v:Destroy()
end
end
end
local function ResetElves()
remainingElves = elves
number_of_floors = math.floor(elves/9)+1
if elves <= 9 then
number_of_floors = 1
end
if number_of_floors >= 2 then
local levelTwo = repStorage:FindFirstChild("Tycoon ".. script.Parent.Name:split(" ")[2] .." Level 2")
if levelTwo then
local newLevel = levelTwo:Clone()
newLevel.Parent = script.Parent
newLevel.Name = "Tycoon Level 2"
end
end
for i = 1,number_of_floors do
if i >= 3 then
local newFloor = tycoonLevel2:Clone()
newFloor.Name = "New Tycoon Level"
newFloor.Parent = script.Parent
for a,b in pairs(newFloor:GetDescendants()) do
if b:IsA("Part") or b:IsA("MeshPart") then
b.Position += Vector3.new(0,7.9*(i-2),0)
end
end
end
for a,b in pairs(tycoonRoof:GetDescendants()) do
if b:IsA("Part") or b:IsA("BasePart") then
b.Position = Vector3.new(b.Position.X,28+7.9*(i-1),b.Position.Z)
end
end
for j = 1,9 do
if j == 1 then
local newElf = repStorage["Tycoon ".. script.Parent.Name:split(" ")[2] .." T1 Elf"]:Clone()
newElf.Name = "T1 Elf"
newElf.Parent = elvesFolder
if i ~= 1 then
for a,b in pairs(newElf:GetDescendants()) do
if b:IsA("Part") or b:IsA("BasePart") then
b.Position += Vector3.new(0,7.9*(i-1),0)
end
end
end
remainingElves -= 1
else
if remainingElves >= 1 then
local newestElf = nil
for a,b in pairs(elvesFolder:GetChildren()) do
newestElf = b
end
local newElf = newestElf:Clone()
newElf.Name = "T1 Elf"
newElf.Parent = elvesFolder
newElf:MoveTo(Vector3.new(newElf.PrimaryPart.Position.X,newElf.PrimaryPart.Position.Y,newElf.PrimaryPart.Position.Z)+(-newElf.PrimaryPart.CFrame.RightVector*6))
end
remainingElves -= 1
end
end
end
end
Note: This is only the first function in the script. This is where the issue would be occurring. Thanks for any help that you can provide!
Here is that screenshot. The expected result is to have all of the elves aligned properly for each floor:
function CountCops()
local xPlayers = ESX.GetPlayers()
CopsConnected = 0
for i=1, #xPlayers, 1 do
local xPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(xPlayers[i])
if xPlayer.job.name == 'police' then
CopsConnected = CopsConnected + 1
end
end
SetTimeout(120 * 1000, CountCops)
end
Does anyone know how would I have both if xPlayer.job.name == 'police' or xPlayer.job.name == 'sheriff' read for = 1 cop for each person.
So if one police was on then it = 1
and if one sheriff was on it would = 2.
local countingJobs = {
['police'] = true,
['sheriff'] = true
};
function CountCops()
local xPlayers = ESX.GetPlayers()
CopsConnected = 0
for i=1, #xPlayers, 1 do
local xPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(xPlayers[i])
if countingJobs[xPlayer.job.name] then
CopsConnected = CopsConnected + 1
end
end
SetTimeout(120 * 1000, CountCops)
end
I'm scripting in roblox lua and when I try to put a while loop in the first it messes up the first sequence of code can someone give me hand in fixing this?
The problem is that when the humanoid makes it to tar2 he stops there and wont move I want him to continue running to the points but while also having it so where if a actual person comes by then he runs after him instead.
local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
local plr = game.Players:GetChildren()
local tar1 = game.Workspace.tar1
local tar2 = game.Workspace.tar2
local tar3 = game.Workspace.tar3
local tar4 = game.Workspace.tar4
local pos = {tar1, tar2, tar3, tar4}
local char = script.Parent
local Hum = char.Humanoid
torso = char.Torso
GoTo = 0
while true do
wait(1)
if GoTo == 0 then
Hum:MoveTo(pos[1].Position)
end
if (torso.Position - pos[1].Position).magnitude < 5 then
GoTo = 1
end
if GoTo == 1 then
Hum:MoveTo(pos[2].Position)
end
if (torso.Position - pos[2].Position).magnitude < 5 then
GoTo = 2
end
if GoTo == 2 then
Hum:MoveTo(pos[3].Position)
Goto = 3
end
if (torso.Position - pos[3].Position).magnitude < 5 then
GoTo = 4
end
if GoTo == 5 then
Hum:MoveTo(pos[4].Position)
end
while true do
wait(0.1)
plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i,plr in ipairs(plrs) do
if plr.Character ~= nil then
tor = plr.Character.Torso
if (torso.Position-tor.Position).magnitude <= 5 then
GoTo = 0
Hum:MoveTo(tor.Position)
end
end
end
end
end
Coroutines! Coroutines are the bombdiggety. They let you do multiple while loops at once in a single script.
local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Left Arm")
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Right Arm")
local plr = game.Players:GetChildren()
local tar1 = game.Workspace.tar1
local tar2 = game.Workspace.tar2
local tar3 = game.Workspace.tar3
local tar4 = game.Workspace.tar4
local pos = {tar1, tar2, tar3, tar4}
local char = script.Parent
local Hum = char.Humanoid
torso = char.Torso
GoTo = 1
function normalCor() -- run around
while true do
wait(1)
for i=1, 4 do
if GoTo == i then
Hum:MoveTo(pos[i].Position)
end
if (torso.Position - pos[i].Position).magnitude < 5 then
GoTo = GoTo + 1
if GoTo == 5 then
GoTo = 1
end
--[[
The above _can_ be done in a single statement:
"GoTo = (GoTo+1)%4+1"
"a % 4" gets the remainder of a / 4 ]]
end
end
end
end
cr = coroutine.create(normalCor)
coroutine.resume(cr) -- this lets you do two while loops at the same time.
function aggroCor() -- when a player is nearby
while true do
wait(0.1)
plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
for i,plr in ipairs(plrs) do
if plr.Character ~= nil then
tor = plr.Character.Torso
if (torso.Position-tor.Position).magnitude <= 5 then
GoTo = 0
Hum:MoveTo(tor.Position)
end
end
end
end
end
cr = coroutine.create(aggroCor)
coroutine.resume(cr)
Roblox has the syntax spawn(aggroCor) that you can play around with too,
if coroutine.whatever seems like too much work.

The script is in a HopperBin Object in the game's StarterPack Folder.
Now if you try it on your own, you'll see that it will work, BUT if you publish the game, play it via ROBLOX(not the studio) and try to use the item, you won't fly.
Any ideas why?
It's been a long time since I haven't played ROBLOX, so my answer might be inaccurate.
First, you need to understand the difference between a Script and a Localscript. In a nutshell, a script runs server-side whereas a Localscript runs client-side. Your fly script is expected to run on a player's client, thus you have to use a Localscript.
Your regular script works in build-mode because scripts are run on your client, and thus are considered as Localscripts. When you publish your game and play it, your computer doesn't work as a server anymore, but as a client.
In addition to this, as you use a localscript, you may have to change the following line :
-- gets the client (local player) on which the script is running
User = Game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
Also, avoid relative paths such as script.Parent.Parent.Parent..... You want to get the client's torso, so just use your User variable as per : User.Character.Torso. Do the same for the character's Humanoid object.
I think it's because the time to load not existing try this at line1:
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
The error is saying:

you haven't defined a load function on the game table you return in game.lua. it looks like you already wrote the load logic but wrote it as a local function named loadGame. to fix your issue update game.lua to export the load function and just have it call the load function you've already created, like this:
function game.load()
loadGame()
end
somewhere before you return the game table in game.lua, say after your definition of game.keypressed
or you could alternatively just change local function loadGame() to function game.load() to remove the local function and redefine it as exported functionality
