How do you stop Roblox Studio from Detecting Hanging scripts?

Asked 322 views1 answers

In one of my local scripts there is a reference towards local player:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

but, Roblox Studio Detects it as a hanging script because the player has not loaded in yet. Then, no matter what I press(Break, Kill Script or just close out of prompt window), Roblox Studio Takes a long time to respond.

I don't think this is important, but until it is responsive, the stop and play button are both colored.

Even after it starts responding, it crashes when I try to open the tab of my game. Please Help!

✓ Accepted answer
while not game.Players.LocalPlayer do wait() end
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

if that does not work then it is probably a different script, your example should just give a nil reference error and not hanging. it could possibly be a free model as people tend to put "viruses" in them with the purpose of lagging your game. and you should still wait for LocalPlayer to be set either way

Not my Goal, but it does fix the problem for that script.

How do you tell if a model causes lag on purpose, because stuff like that is happening on other scripts.

Nevermind, those were just repeats without a wait()
