Pcall - Roblox Scripting Tutorial

Protip: if you dont know which line the pcall ended in an error, next time print the line number along the error

May you friend me back? It’s me Isaiahcoolkidyo. I understand if you want to save your friend slots though.

Alvin Nice job for doing The soccer game 🎉

Very nice new style, you should do an OOP tutorial sometime. Theres really no good tutorials out there right now for OOP and it took me a while to learn.

I love youuuu

This is the first time ive watched an alvinblox video in like 5 years and holy your voice sounds so much more mature now

u disappeared again 😥

by any chance, can you do an advanced tutorial on a hide and seek game with the following functions:
When players first join, they spawn in the lobby, even if there's a session of hide and seek going on.
Map voting system.
the map with the most votes is where the players will teleport into.
each intermission is around 2 minutes in the lobby.
After the intermission, give all the players 4 options of randomnly selected maps to vote from.
everyone would have 10 seconds to vote.
out of all the players, select a random player to be the seeker with the text as "[Player] is the seeker"
after the players teleport to the map with the most votes, they have one minute to hide, meanwhile, the seeker stays in the lobby.
After the one minute to hide, THEN teleport the seeker to the map where everyone is hiding.
After the 1 minute to hide is over, make the text say "Time left of session:" 4 minutes. in format MM:SS
if the seeker is caught, their character resets and teleports back to the lobby.
each time a player is removed from the session and teleported back to the lobby, make a text that tells you how many players are left in the round.
all the players that survive after the four minutes is up, make a text that says "[Player], [Player}, etc... survived the round"
And then teleport everyone back to the lobby.
and repeat the intermission process, etc...
Not to mention. Make it to where a random player is selected as the hunter which will teleport with the victims to the map.
If the seeker resets the character during the session, or if the seeker is eliminated by the hunter, everyone automatically wins.
All people that survive each round get a currency of 10 Points.
Roles should be:
Hider
Seeker
Lobby
Hunter
Not to mention, after everyone is teleported, hiders should see a gui that tells them what to do, same with the seeker and hunter.
I would greatly appreciate it as it would be helpful. I wasn't able to find anything advanced than beginner tutorials. Please Alvinblox, thanks!

Hey Alvin! It's been a while. If you are looking for ideas of new videos, you could potentially go back and fix/renovate your old Sword Fighting game from years ago! That would be very cool to see.

PLS read the comments on Roblox Tycoon Scripting Tutorial (Part 6) we want answers and pls finish it so i can finish the game: Add thing such as: how much a button cost, rotating the plot if it is on the other side, etc

Hi, im your new Membership

Alvin its been many years and i just wanna say thank u so much for helping me code back in 2018, today im with 300m visits across my games. all thanks to you!! //Firemalte07

The best way to rerun code if it wasn't found:

local s, e = pcall(function()
--Code here
end)

while not s do
wait ()
s, e = pcall(function()
warn(e)
--Code Here
end)
end

print("Success")


Essentailly, the game first tries the pcall at the top. If it returns unsuccessful, the game will repetitively try it and not let more code execute until it has worked correctly. Then it moves on to what is below, in this case the success print

hi alvin! please accept my friend request my id is Nomi_Don

AlvinBlox bro I love your videos. I'm a beginner scripting and when I look at this video playlist it's just so overwhelming. Could u please make a new playlist with the videos for beginners scripting. That would be so awesome from you

Bro how are you doing? I used to watch your video back in 2016. Been a long time. I dont play roblox anymore currently. And I almost gradute nursing school. How time flies so fast

alvin can u please bring ur pls donate video back?

Bro Calvin come back to yt 😭

Hey Alvin! It's been a while now so I'm here to ask you for some things! Like can you please come back creating more amazing videos? I just love watching you! And can you make a tutorial on how to make a game like theme park tycoon? That's all! Thanks for your time!❤

Really nice tutorial however you shouldn't teach people wrong stuff, pcall does NOT make a new thread, standing for "protected call", pca just runs the code inside in "protected mode" (handled internally in C) but it can yield just like any other thread-level execution
