Why does my script crash every time I test it out?

Asked by

I have a script that creates a "ghost" of the character. It's kinda like a very short trail that is the player. Whenever I run it, it crashes. Why?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
    plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
        while true do
        wait(.1)
        local getd = char:GetDescendants()
        if char:FindFirstChild("Folder") then
            char.Folder:Destroy()
        end
        for i,v in pairs(getd) do
            if v.ClassName == "UnionOperation" or v.ClassName == "Part" then
                if v.Name ~= "Torso" or v.Name ~= "Middle" then
                    local folder = Instance.new("Folder")
                    local clone = v:Clone()
                    folder.Parent = char
                    folder.Name = "Folder"
                    clone.Parent = folder
                    clone.CanCollide = false
                    clone.Anchored = true
                    if clone.Name ~= "Head" then
                        clone:ClearAllChildren()
                    end
                    clone.Name = "Ghost"
                    if v.Name == "HumanoidRootPart" then
                        v.BrickColor = char.Torso.BrickColor
                    end
                    if v:FindFirstChild("Weld") then
                        v.Weld:Destroy()
                    end
                end
            end
        end
        end
    end)
end)

It might be because you are trying to perform many different operations in less than .1 seconds. Experiment with the wait time... Pojoto 329 — 6y

Your script is most likely crashing due to you attempting to loop through all of the character's descendants and then trying to clone and change all of them instantly. I would, like pojoto said, suggest adding a wait() in your loop. Also, you're using a while true do loop with another loop embedded inside, with no wait time, while also constantly cloning a folder and then deleting it over and over again.
