is there a way to check for an infinite yield?
I'm trying to run a check on whether something exists or not and to solve the problem automatically in case of random glitches. I usually do this by checking whether a value is nil or not, but since it comes out as an infinite yield, I need a new way to check if the yield is infinite. what is the alternative for | if <something> == nil then | to check if for an infinite yield instead
here's the code btw
if game.ServerStorage.maps:WaitForChild("friendship_park") == nil then
if game.ServerStorage:FindFirstChild("friendship_park") == nil then
local map_1 = game.Workspace.friendship_park
map_1.Parent = game.serverstorage.maps
else
local map_1 = game.Workspace.MapHolder.friendship_park:Clone()
map_1.Parent = game.ServerStorage.maps
end
end
the output is
11:57:45.382 - Infinite yield possible on 'ServerStorage.maps:WaitForChild("friendship_park")'
11:57:45.384 - Stack Begin
11:57:45.385 - Script 'ServerScriptService.mainscript', Line 125
11:57:45.386 - Stack End

Infinite Yield Possible means that the object that you are trying to wait for, doesn't exist. As an alternative, use FindFirstChild, and add an if statement to check whether it exists or not. Example:
local part = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Part")
if part then
print("Found part!")
else
print("Cant find part")
end
If you use WaitForChildand it returns Infinite Yield Possible, it will stop running the rest of the script, so it's best to use FindFirstChild. Please accept my answer if this helped!
