Loop won't run correctly,why?

Asked by 9 years ago

The loop runs all the way but doesn't print stop.

part = script.Parent
clicked = false
part.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
---------------Debounce------------------
 if clicked == false--Checks if clicked is false(Which it should be,because it already been set false)
    then 
    clicked = true-- Since it false it will turn it true(so we know it's alread been clicked)
end

----------------Fade Out------------------
    for fo = 0,1,0.1 do
        wait(0.1)
        part.BackgroundTransparency = fo
        part.TextTransparency = fo
        if fo == 1
            then
            print("stop")
            part.Active = false
        end
end
end)

This is due to how lua (and moreso any computer language that uses floating point values or doubles) handles decimals. When you do a for loop like that, you don't end up with exactly one. You end up with what looks like 1, but when you compare it to 1 you find it's less than 1!

The best way to avoid this is when you're doing for loops like this, have the loop go from 0 to 10 and every time you want to use i just divide it by 10 and you have a number between 0 and 1 while being precise.
