Why does this code lag the server to the point where roblox has to timeout even with a wait?
1 | db_value.Value = db |
2 | repeat until db_value.Value == 0 |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | db_value.Value = db_value -1 |
5 | print(db) |
6 | end |
So I'm making a debounce and I wanna repeat this, code is pretty self-explanatory. Why does it pretty much crash studio and how can I fix that?

you can change it with this:
1 | db_value.Value = db |
2 | repeat wait() |
3 | db_value.Value = db_value -1 |
4 | print(db) |
5 | until db_value.Value == 0 |
6 | end |
This is because you're not doing anything inside of the repeat-until statement.
The code you want to be repeated until it's condition is true has to be inside of the repeat-until statement.
1 | repeat |
2 | print(I'll be printing forever. True will never equal false.) |
3 | wait() |
4 | until true == false |
The code above will print forever since true will never equal false. That was an example of how you could use it.
You could also use it like this, which will fit your needs perfectly.
1 | db_value.Value = db |
2 | repeat |
3 | wait(1) |
4 | db_value.Value = db_value.Value -1 |
5 | print(db) |
6 | until db_value.Value <= 0 |
7 | print("db_value equals 0 or less.") |
If you want to read more about repeat-until statements then feel free to look at the pil.
Reading from what @Harry_TheKing1 said basically, your script renders so fast because there's no wait and you didn't put the below code after the until function after
1 | db_value.Value = db |
2 | repeat |
3 | wait(.5) |
4 | db_value.Value = db_value -1 |
5 | print(db) |
6 | until db_value.Value == 0 |
7 | end |
