How to write these lines more efficiently?
I've written the following code to continuously loop sting values, repeating in the same order infinitely. I was just curious if there was any way to write lines 6 through 13 more effectively?
local message = script.Parent
local myArray = {"Hello, there.", "General Kenobi!", "I am the Senate.", "Not... yet."}
while true do
message.Name = myArray[1]
wait(3)
message.Name = myArray[2]
wait(3)
message.Name = myArray[3]
wait(3)
message.Name = myArray[4]
wait(3)
end

you could try to do a for loop:
local message = script.Parent
local myArray = {"Hello, there.", "General Kenobi!", "I am the Senate.", "Not... yet."}
while true do
for i = 1, #myArray do
message.Name = myArray[i]
wait(3)
end
end
in my opinion, for loops work better for longer tables, also you could do
local message = script.Parent
local myArray = {"Hello, there.", "General Kenobi!", "I am the Senate.", "Not... yet."}
while true do
for _,v in pairs(myArray) do
message.Name = v
wait(3)
end
end
the latter also works for dictionaries
