How do I break this loop when it finds an an empty value?
I am trying to make a part teleport the player to a part (lets call this door) that is not taken, so that if multiple players touch "door" it will line them up instead of teleporting a player to a position that is taken, but when I run this code it does not stop, and instead goes through all of the parts stopping at the last one.
01 | local Door = script.Parent.Parent |
02 | Door.TeleIn.Touched:Connect(function(p) |
03 | local plr = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(p.Name) |
04 | wait() |
05 | if closed.Value ~= true then -- if it should teleport the player |
06 | for _,v in pairs (spots:GetChildren()) do -- gets the 'spots' to teleport to |
07 | if v.using.Value ~= true then -- if that spot is empty |
08 | plr.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 |
09 | plr.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(v.Position) -- teleports player |
10 | v.using.Value = true -- sets that position as taken |
11 | break -- this should stop the loop where it is |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end |
15 | end) |

Maybe you're accidentally triggering the touch event several times - try adding some debounce. fredfishy 833 — 6y

Add some debounce:
01 | local touch = false |
02 | local Door = script.Parent.Parent |
03 | Door.TeleIn.Touched:Connect(function(p) |
04 | if not touch then |
05 | touch = true |
06 | --do your stuff |
07 | wait(1) --waits 1 second before allowing another touch event to do anything |
08 | touch = false |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
This will still trigger as many times as it did before, but the difference is that debounce only allows stuff you want to happen once.

well, now it waiting one second before going to the next part, and its still looping through all of them :/ TheGreenSuperman 85 — 6y

It really should not be possible at all for it to do that, make sure you put everything where it should go. SteamG00B 1633 — 6y

@TheGreenSuperman What exactly did you do when you tried my solution? SteamG00B 1633 — 6y
