What is wrong with my script?

Asked 231 views1 answers

I have my script set up where a loop is resumed when the player is walking and is paused while the player is stopped. When I run the script it runs correctly for the first time, but after that the loop seems to not work. Does anyone know what is wrong with my script?

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Figure = Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local i = 0
local W = false

CamMovment = coroutine.create(function()
    while W == true do 
		wait()
		print(i)
		i = i + 1
	end
end)

Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if key == "w" then
		W = true
		coroutine.resume(CamMovment)
	end
end)

Mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
	if key == "w" then
		W = false
		coroutine.yield(CamMovment)
	end
end)

The coroutine is a separate thread. The while loop is in that thread. When W is set to false, the while loop stops. Resuming the thread does not reboot it. Here's something better you can do:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Figure = Player.Character
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

local i = 0
local W = false

Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if key == "w" then
		W = true
		while W do
			wait()
			print(i)
			i=i+1
		end
	end
end)

Mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
	if key == "w" then
		W = false
	end
end)

You don't need a coroutine.
