Infinite yield possible on 'ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StatusTag")' ?

Asked by 6 years ago
Edited 6 years ago

I'm trying to make a MM2 style game, and for my MainScript I'm getting an error when testing. 17:51:43.741 - Infinite yield possible on 'ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")' and 17:51:43.768 - Infinite yield possible on 'ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("StatusTag")' I do not understand what this means or how to fix it... heres the entire script.
