local val = game.ReplicatedStorage.numberval.Value


for i = 1,10 do
    game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone()
    game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().Parent = workspace
    game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-315.026, -268.827),-148.634, 2.76)
    print("spawned 1wave")
    wait()
end
while true do
if val == 10 then
    for i = 1,10 do
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone()
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().Parent = workspace
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-315.026, -268.827),-148.634, 2.76)
        print("spawned 2wave")
            wait()
            val = val + 1
    end
elseif val == 30 then
    for i = 1,10 do
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone()
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().Parent = workspace
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-315.026, -268.827),-148.634, 2.76)
        print("spawned 3wave")
        wait()
    end
elseif val == 40 then
    for i = 1,10 do
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone()
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().Parent = workspace
        game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone().HumanoidRootPart.Position = Vector3.new(math.random(-315.026, -268.827),-148.634, 2.76)
        print("spawned 4wave")
        wait()
    end
elseif val == 50 then
    for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
        if v.Name == "bacteria" and v.Humanoid then
            v:remove()
            print("removed waste.....")
        end
    end
    end
    wait(0.1)
end

Does not print anything but print("spawned wave1") Im trying to make "zombie" waves. Im not sure what the error is. No errors are shown in output And whenever a zombie is killed it adds 1 to the value, Ive checked the value succesfully changes to 10 after all the zombies are killed. So i dont know what to do

Well you never changed the numberVal make sure to add 10 to the numberVal everyround MarkedTomato 810 — 3y

Firstly, variables do not store references to properties: they will just store the value of the property at the time of declaration and be constant throughout your code. Secondly, calling the :Clone() function will always create a new clone, not like it references the previously cloned part. Lastly, given that its a number value, you should use a Changed event instead of a while loop. Here's the fixed code along with some adjustments

local val = game.ReplicatedStorage.numberval

function SpawnWave()
    for i = 1, 10 do
        local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.bacteria:Clone()
        clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(math.random(-315.026, -268.827),-148.634, 2.76)
        clone.Parent = workspace
    end
end

SpawnWave()

val.Changed:Connect(function()
    if math.floor(val.Value / 10) == (val.Value / 10) and val.Value < 50 then
        SpawnWave()
   elseif val.Value == 50 then
        for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
            if v.Name == "bacteria" and v:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
                v:Destroy()
                print("removed waste.....")
            end
        end
   end
end)
