why is this loop only running once and not finishing the rest of the script?
Here is the code:
if copy.ItemType.Value == "Dropper" then
copy.Parent = tycoonBaseplate:FindFirstChild("PurchasedItems")
spawn(function()
local dropper = copy
local loopWaitTime = dropper:WaitForChild("LoopWaitTime")
local oreValue = dropper:WaitForChild("OreValue")
local dropperPart = dropper:WaitForChild("DropperPart")
while wait(loopWaitTime.Value) do
local newOre = Instance.new("Part")
newOre.Name = "Ore"
newOre.Parent = dropper
newOre.Size = dropperPart.Size
newOre.Position = dropperPart.Position
game.Debris:AddItem(newOre, 25)
local cash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Parent = newOre
cash.Value = oreValue.Value
end
end)

Your module script will never get to the return line so the could will block at the while loop.
Example:-
-- script
print('start')
print(require(script.ModuleScript))
print('done')
-- module
while wait(1) do
print('a')
end
return true -- cannot get to the return
You can use spawn to create a new thread around your while loop.
Example:-
local dropper = script.Parent
local loopWaitTime = dropper:WaitForChild("LoopWaitTime")
local oreValue = dropper:WaitForChild("OreValue")
local dropperPart = dropper:WaitForChild("DropperPart")
-- run codeas thread
spawn(function()
-- you need to think about how you will stop the loop
while wait(loopWaitTime.Value) do
local newOre = Instance.new("Part")
newOre.Name = "Ore"
newOre.Parent = dropper
newOre.Size = dropperPart.Size
newOre.Position = dropperPart.Position
game.Debris:AddItem(newOre, 25)
local cash = Instance.new("NumberValue")
cash.Name = "Cash"
cash.Parent = newOre
cash.Value = oreValue.Value
end
end)
return true
I hope this helps.

There's either only 1 purchasable item, or it errors somewhere.

I happen to know that there are four purchasable items. User#21908 42 — 6y
