If statement not working and while loop just restarts?
The script I made is supposed to detect when there are no more items in a folder, its in a while true do loop. But the loop completely restarts and doesn't do anything when all the items are collected. Whats wrong?
while true do -- this loop is inside of another loop
local Gems = ClonedMap.Gems
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not Gems:FindFirstChild("Gem") then -- This is supposed to check if there are any items (gems) in the folder
wait(1)
Status.Value = "All gems have been found, game over!"
wait(1)
player.Character:BreakJoints() -- Resets players when all gems are found, this part also doesn't work
ClonedMap:Destroy() -- Resets the map
break
end
end

You could try making a variable that the while true do runs on, for example:
local gemsFound = false
while not gemsFound do -- this loop is inside of another loop
local Gems = ClonedMap.Gems
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
if not Gems:FindFirstChild("Gem") then -- This is supposed to check if there are any items (gems) in the folder
wait(1)
Status.Value = "All gems have been found, game over!"
wait(1)
player.Character:BreakJoints() -- Resets players when all gems are found, this part also doesn't work
ClonedMap:Destroy() -- Resets the map
gemsFound = true
end
end
