My script makes a loading screen effect and it disables itself after the loading is done but for some reason EVEN WHEN ITS DISABLED?? this has never happened to me before so I don't know why this is happening but i tried running some prints to find which script was running the loading frame (i have 3 scripts running the loading frame) and then i checked for its parent to make sure and then i checked if it was disabled.. output said it was disabled.

The LocalScript is in a textbutton parented to a folder which is parented to a frame which is parented to a screengui which is parented to startergui (playergui)

local loadingFrame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.LoadingFrame
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
    script.Parent.Parent.Parent:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-0.5,0,0.053,0),"Out", "Quad")
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
    if v.ClassName == "TextButton" then
        v.Visible = false
    end
    wait(.3)
    for i = 1,0,-.1 do
        print(script.Name)
        print(script.Parent)
        print(script.Disabled)
        loadingFrame.BackgroundTransparency = i
        wait(.1)
    end
    loadingFrame.ImageLabel.Visible = true
    local timer = 5
while timer ~= 0 do 
    loadingFrame.ImageLabel:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.061, 0,0.153, 0),"Out","Quad",.4)
        wait(.5)
    loadingFrame.ImageLabel:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.065, 0,0.168, 0),"Out","Quad",.4)
    timer = timer - 1
    print(timer)
        wait(.5)
end
for i = 0,1,.1 do
        loadingFrame.BackgroundTransparency = i
        loadingFrame.ImageLabel.Visible = false
        wait(.1)
    end
    wait(.2)
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
    if v.ClassName == "TextButton" then
        v.Visible = true
        script.Parent.LocalScript.Disabled = false
        script.Disabled = true
    end
end
end
end)

It's because you have 'while' loop and have to find a way to break it.

Try adding a break variable.

local break = false -- this will break the 'while' loop when set to 'true'

Then, add it a 'if' statement for the break variable.

while timer ~= 0 do 
    if not break then -- if break is false, loop continues
            loadingFrame.ImageLabel:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.061, 0,0.153, 0),"Out","Quad",.4)
                wait(.5)
            loadingFrame.ImageLabel:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.065, 0,0.168, 0),"Out","Quad",.4)
            timer = timer - 1
            print(timer)
                wait(.5)

    elseif break then -- if break is true, stops the 'while' loop
        print('broke loop') break
    end
end

Now, set break to true before disabling the script.

 for i,v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
    if v.ClassName == "TextButton" then
        v.Visible = true
    break = true -- sets break to true so the while loop stops
        script.Parent.LocalScript.Disabled = false
        script.Disabled = true
    end
end

Hope this helped
