Putting this in discussion because I’m not allowed to post in releases. If a mod could move it, that’d be great.
Been working on a simple race script. Currently, it’s more like a time trial with checkpoints. I looked over the forums and couldn’t find anyone trying to do anything similar.
Please note that currently, the countdown timer doesn’t freeze player movement properly, so your time for the race won’t be entirely accurate. If someone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
Also, there’s a lot of stuff in there that some people aren’t huge fans of. Most of it can be commented out and still work fine.
Special thanks to a few folks in the discord for answering my stupid questions:

To create a race, simply edit the CheckPoints[x].
Add checkpoints using the formatting:
CheckPoints[1] = { x = 0, y = 0, z = 0, type = 5}
Number in brackets is the number of the checkpoint (CheckPoints[1] would be the first
checkpoint in the race)
Change the checkpoint type to determine whether or not it will be a checkpoint or
the finish line. type = 5 for regular checkpoints, type = 9 for the finish.
The example race is in North Yankton.

i edited all the cordinates.
but every time you finish a race you got to restart the resource and the chat message thats in there does not shop up after a race for me
