How do I break this while loop, and run a seperate line of code for when coretemp equals 8999?

So the problem is, if I implement the Meltdown Code I know it's going to constantly run infinitely, and I don't want that. So how can I make it only run once, while I have a while loop present?

01coretemp = script.Parent.coretemp
02heatmult = script.Parent.heatmult
03coolmult = script.Parent.coolmult
04 
05coretemp.Value = 2000 -- Starting Core Temperature
06heatmult.Value = 1 -- Starting heat multiplier
07coolmult.Value = 0 -- Starting cool multiplier
08 
09corestatus = "SAFE"
10 
11function heatgeneration()
12    wait(1)
13    if heatmult.Value > coolmult.Value then
14        coretemp.Value = coretemp.Value + 1 * heatmult.Value
15    elseif coolmult.Value > heatmult.Value then
16        coretemp.Value = coretemp.Value - 1 * coolmult.Value
17    end
18end
19 
20function status()
21    if heatmult.Value ~= coolmult.Value then
22        heatgeneration()
23    end
24    script.Parent.Name = "Core Temp: "..coretemp.Value.."c, "..corestatus
25    print(script.Parent.Name)
26    if coretemp.Value >= 8999 then
27        corestatus = "DANGER"
28    else
29        corestatus = "SAFE"
30    end
31    if corestatus == "DANGER" then
32        script.Parent.Core.Size = Vector3.new(15.75,15.75,15.75)
33        script.Parent.Shield.Size = Vector3.new(16,16,16)
34    else
35        script.Parent.Core.Size = Vector3.new(3.75,3.75,3.75)
36        script.Parent.Shield.Size = Vector3.new(4,4,4)      
37    end
38end

43    status()

don't know what you mean by 'seperate line of code' hellmatic 1523 — 7y

Basically, I was going to have a seperate function for the meltdown code without creating a new script. But thank you you've fixed my problem. I wasn't sure if this was gonna work. Inevitable_Judgement -10 — 7y

I'm gonna have to restructure the whole script I'm afraid. But now I know how to do it. :) Inevitable_Judgement -10 — 7y
