Where did I go wrong?

[Swiftone]

Hello guys I hit a little snag while working on my gamemode here, I was hoping someone could shed some light on it. Please don't make fun this is my first coding project ever, I have NEVER started out in an empty file. I'm sure I coded things like a barbarian, I have only done minor edits/change variables to existing code in the past.

The Problem:

It currently just cycles through each round phase extremely fast. It goes from **Round Preparing----->Round is Starting----->Round has Ended.**
I have been messing with this for a few hours and I can't figure it out, ANY help would be very much appreciated!

I don't want to go completely off the topic, but why are all your variables global ?
And why do you make a separate function for each round ?
And why are you hooking "round checkers" to Think hook ?

Don't I only have one global var? The rest are console commands so people can easily edit things in the server.cfg. Also I wasn't sure If they would have to be global so I could access them client side while doing my GUI's.
**Edit: Would setting variables in the shared.lua be a way around using GlobalVariables?
At the time is was easier for me to visualize everything that way, but I will end up putting them all in a RoundStructure() function.

I was using the Think function because thats where I started and it was before I learned how to use timers like I did in the WinChecker(). Would I be better off to do a timer or just hook into the Think function rather then using it directly?

Thanks for any input!

Edit
**Don't forget this is my cherry for coding :p**

First off the entirety of your code is complete shit. That being said, I didn't bother optimizing it, but it should work now.

I didn't bother with the WinChecker or the GM:RoundStructure() but other then that, I guess it should work now.

ShinyCow thanks for the help! If you happen to have time could you show me the proper way to do things? I am trying to get better at coding and I don't want to code things like a complete asshole.

thanks again!

I am glad he fixed stuff I mentioned, I am way too sleepy to do anything right now, but it was bothering me
