When I am about to test my new game I am creating in roblox studio, I press "play" a couple seconds later when it is trying to load, a message comes up, it says, "a script has been running for a long time, and may be hanging." Underneath this message it has to options, "kill script or break." I have tried both of these options several times, and my problem has not been resolved, please help me. Thank you!

It could be because there is an error in one of your scripts and/or you are using a while loop in one of your scripts that doesn't have a :Wait(). Thus, causing a crash or making that gui pop up. yougottols1 420 — 6y

If you want to override, you can check the checkbox and press continue too (: Pianotech 48 — 6y

You are using a while true do loop that is running infinitely non-stop for e.g if you were changing the BrickColor of a part you would need a wait() before it changes colour again or it will crash the server. Fix - Put a wait() somewhere between 2 things that changes and enter a value inside the brackets (it's for how long it should wait it isn't essential)

EXAMPLE -

while true do
workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Pearl')
wait(0.1)
workspace.Part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new('Lapis')

If you can't figure out where to put the wait give me the script and I'll reply with a more detailed answer

Hope it helped.

its because you're using a while loop or some other loop that repeats itself. put a wait in the loop because then it runs too fast for your (or anyone's) computer to handle

while true do
    -- some stuff
    wait(0.01)
end

i think that's the case, anyway.
