Is "then" appropriate?
I am new to scripting. So forgive me for my mistake.
So I get the error
19:26:12.544 - Workspace.Script:4: 'then' expected near '='
when running this script
am = Workspace.AmmoCrate1.AmmoCrate
while true do
if am.Amount.Value = 0
wait(30)
am.Amount.Value = am.Amount.Value + 1000
end
I'm trying to make it that if The AmmoCrate's Value hits 0, then it will wait for 30 seconds until its Value returns to 1000.

Well first, instead of using a while loop for this just use the Changed event
am.Changed:connect(function()
end)
Secondly an if statement should be used like this
if condition then --code end
You forgot both the then and the end.
And third when comparing two values you have to use == instead of just =
So it would be:
if value == 5 then end
instead of
if value = 5 then end
So if you put this altogehter the code would look like this
local am = Workspace.AmmoCrate1.AmmoCrate
am.Changed:connect(function() --use the changed event
if am.Value == 0 then --if the value is 0
am.Value = 1000 --change the value to 1000
end --end the block of code
end)

You need two equal signs when using an if statement and then you need to follow it by a then. Thats why its called an if then statement
if am.Amount.Value == 0 then
