Did you make that?

Why do you need global timers and pcall?

It looks like a game-running script.

I had no Idea what "_G." was. If that is what the problem is, can you fix it?

....That's why I always make my own scripts. It looks like the variable _G was never assigned in that script, ruining the whole thing...?

What were you trying to make, anyway?

Re write it without pcall and _G

Then see if it works.

@ Jf,
I did make it myself and Have you ever played Kingdom Hearts II

No, I have not.

Not to be offencive, but if you made the script, you should know what everything inside it is, and what it does. If you don't know what something does/is, you might as well remove it. This doesn't mean the script will still work, though

Don't over complicate things.


Only Meelo can do that.

skip to 2:00


I was asked to script that for a firend, I was getting help on roblox's forum when ppl told me to use _G. for teams. I didn't know it wouldn't work with everything . Meelo did the pcall part.

EDIT:
I've redid it

Theres a script that goes with it that Im not getting an output on
http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=10092949#10127212

NOTE: I'm talking about the script on post 10.


Hmm.. first off, You don't say what _G is, but you act like you're finding something within _G.

Right here:

Code:

_G.yellow = 0


If you're using a variable inside the script, just use G = 0. If you're not, i.e. you're finding something outside the script, you're going to need to tell the script what you're looking for (_G = game.Workspace.whatever.whatever), THEN assign it's value.



Also, am I missing something, or are you missing the end for the the Start() function?


Also, You start the whole script with a function. Is there anything inside the code that isn't inside any function? If not, at the very very end, after everything, add

Code:

Start() OR MovePlayers(Teamcolorhere)


so it actually runs the function for you. (Functions don't run unless you tell them to!)

I might be totally wrong, but that's all I can think of... hopefully it helps somehow.

Totally wrong about _G

_G.yellow = 1

is valid.

What is _G? I think I'm over my head here. Anyway, I fixed my previous post.

global stuff

EG in one script

[[

_G.EPIC = "Earth100"

]]

in another...

[[
wait() -- needs to store global value
print(EPIC)

]]

output: Earth100

Oh. I was totally unaware of that feature... that could be pretty useful.

But it causes a bit more lag then normal

But if you redefine it

local Epic = Epic

then that fixes it

I'll look over it more carfully.

Thanks Earth. Now I don't have to find out what Globals are from the wiki.
