How can I make a loop that will continue looping until you stop touching a part?

Asked 314 views1 answers

I mean, like :

script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) ~= nil then
		while ??? do
			--Something
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function(hit)
	if game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) ~= nil then
		--Do something that will cancel that upper while loop on line 4
	end
end)

Get it?

local touchTab = {}
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent)
    if player then
        touchTab[player] = true
        while touchTab[player] do
            --Something
        end
    end
end)

script.Parent.TouchEnded:connect(function(hit)
    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
    if player then
        touchTab[player] = nil
    end
end)
