Repeat wait until an object exists?
I want multiple instances to be created ONLY when an object is created in another script. This is the code I came up with.
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until not plr.storage
local item = Instance.new("BoolValue", plr.storage)
end)
I know it's wrong.
The storage object is a Backpack placed inside the Player. Inside it contains a lot of BoolValues for future reference. I want the BoolValues to be created in a separate script just for the sake of organization on my part.

Why not just do: if something ~= nil then systematicaddict 295 — 10y

The problem is that you are waiting until that storage doesn't exist. This is proper logic:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
repeat wait() until plr:FindFirstChild("storage")
local item = Instance.new("BoolValue", plr.storage)
end)

A better suggestion than what zars15 suggested is this;
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
local storage = plr:WaitForChild("storage")
local item = Instance.new("BoolValue", storage)
end)
Look at the wiki - WaitForChild
