I am new in the script word, so, whats the difference between "while true do" and "while wait() do"?
while true do is a loop that runs an infinite amount of times
while true do print("Hello World!") end
^ This will crash your studio because it has no wait() ^
while true do wait() print("Hello World!") end
^ This will not because it has something that prevents it from running an infinite amount of times in less than it can handle
while wait() do is like while true do but it already has a wait in it
while wait() do print("Hello World!") end
This will do the same thing that the previous code block shown will do but written down slightly shorter.
They are both the same thing. the while and do are always there, and the part in the middle can be changed. People like to write while wait() do because if they do not put the wait(), the script will crash. Other people like to do while true do and add a wait() somewhere inside the block. Overall, no difference.
while CONDITION do
runs code whilst the condition specified is true, breaks if it becomes false.while wait() do end
wait
function returns is the time waited, and because that value is a truthy value, the code runs indefinitely.while true do wait() -- without a wait, the script breaks end
true
, as this is more expressive and it's slightly faster than wait()
. For these reasons, use true
as the condition.
