If you use "while true do" to loop a script, where do I put that in my script so that I can loop it?
How do you loop this script down below??
local TimesClicked = 0 script.Parent.mouseClick:connect(function(Player) if script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide == true then Player.leaderstats.LifeFormFound.Value = Player.leaderstats.LifeFormFound.Value +1 TimesClicked = TimesClicked +1 if TimesClicked == 1 then script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 1 script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = false wait(3) script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 0 script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = true end end end)

it depends on what you want to be looped. what are you trying to do inside the loop? MrMedian 160 — 6y

local TimesClicked = 0 script.Parent.mouseClick:connect(function(Player) if script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide == true then local loop = coroutine.wrap(function() while wait() do Player.leaderstats.LifeFormFound.Value = Player.leaderstats.LifeFormFound.Value +1 TimesClicked = TimesClicked +1 end end) loop() end if TimesClicked == 1 then script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 1 script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = false wait(3) script.Parent.Parent.Transparency = 0 script.Parent.Parent.CanCollide = true end end)

wait() shouldn't be a condition. User#19524 175 — 6y

"It doesn't work" "Yes it does" "It's dumb". Lua conditionals aren't based on booleans - they're based on whether or not something is "truthy" or "falsey" like most loosely-typed languages. Since `wait` cannot return 0, it's always "truthy". Arguably it's much neater to do it this way, since it avoids the ubiquitous `wait` which is normally jammed at the end of every loop. fredfishy 833 — 6y

0 is also truthy in Lua amanda 1059 — 6y

true > wait(). User#19524 175 — 6y

@amanda ooh that's a fun one @incapaz wait() > true, since you've provided literally no counterargument other than "it's dumb" fredfishy 833 — 6y

print(wait() > true) --> false print(true > wait()) --> true User#19524 175 — 6y

Unfortunately, your code doesn't interpret since you can't compare a boolean to a numeric value with `>`. fredfishy 833 — 6y
