Test mode in studio stuck at 50%?

I know it must be due to an infinite loop, but I don't know how to fix it. The two only culprits I know it is.

while true do
    script.Parent.Value.Value = 1
    wait(10)
    script.Parent.Value.Value = 2
    wait(10)
    script.Parent.Value.Value = 3
    wait(10)
    script.Parent.Value.Value = 4
    wait(10)
    script.Parent.Value.Value = 5
    wait(10)
end

A = script.Parent.Blue:GetChildren()
B = script.Parent.Red:GetChildren()
change = 1

script.Parent.Value.Changed:connect(function()
    print(change)
end)

while true do
    if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
        change = 1
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
        change = 0.75
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
        change = 0.5
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 4 then
        change = 0.25
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 5 then
        change = 0.15
    end
end

while true do
    for i,v in pairs(A) do
        v.PointLight.Enabled = true
        v.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 0
    end
    for i,v in pairs(B) do
        v.PointLight.Enabled = false
        v.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1   
    end
    wait(change)
    for i,v in pairs(A) do
        v.PointLight.Enabled = false
        v.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
    end
    for i,v in pairs(B) do
        v.PointLight.Enabled = true
        v.SurfaceGui.TextLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 0   
    end
    wait(change)
end

From lines 9-21, you have not added a delay, i suggest for the most efficient one, you use wait() perhaps between each one or after the condition.

You can do either way, which ether one you want.

A = script.Parent.Blue:GetChildren()
B = script.Parent.Red:GetChildren()
change = 1

script.Parent.Value.Changed:connect(function()
    print(change)
end)

while true do
    if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
        change = 1
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
        change = 0.75
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
        change = 0.5
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 4 then
        change = 0.25
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 5 then
        change = 0.15
    end
    wait()
end

or

while true do
    if script.Parent.Value.Value == 1 then
        change = 1
    wait()
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 2 then
        change = 0.75
    wait()
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 3 then
        change = 0.5
     wait()
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 4 then
        change = 0.25
    wait()
    elseif script.Parent.Value.Value == 5 then
        change = 0.15
     wait()
    end
end

Hope that helped, feel free to reply if it didn't.

I wouldn't suggest the latter method of using wait because in the slight chance that none of those conditions are true the loop will crash because no wait() commands will run. It's much simpler and cleaner to just put a wait at the end TurboFusion 1821 — 8y

True, i made a slight mistake, and yes the first option is the best one. hozann 75 — 8y
