For some reason, my script only runs once while using while true do (with a wait() after the while) but it runs forever when using while wait() do. I thought they were the same thing?

while true do

while true do
	wait()
	if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 18 * 60 then
		script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		script.Parent.PointLight.Enabled = true
	end
	if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 6 * 60 then
		script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
		script.Parent.PointLight.Enabled = false
	end
end

while wait() do

while wait() do
	if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 18 * 60 then
		script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Neon
		script.Parent.PointLight.Enabled = true
	end
	if game.Lighting:GetMinutesAfterMidnight() == 6 * 60 then
		script.Parent.Material = Enum.Material.Plastic
		script.Parent.PointLight.Enabled = false
	end
end

Be careful when using == with numbers that specifc. It could cause problems and never trigger if it doesn't check at the exact right moment. I'd recommend using an elseif and switching the order of the conditions (the numbers) and using < instead of ==. That just might fix your problem, but is much better code even if it doesn't.

How are you setting the time?

I made a Day/Night cycle script and it works so I know it's not coming from that

Why does while wait() do allow me to not use elseif and it still turns on and off but while true do requires me to use elseif on the second if statement :|
