How would I repeat a If Statement?
local SoundPlaying = WorkspacePlayer.UpperTorso.IsSoundPlaying
if SoundPlaying.Value == false then
Soundbutton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
print("Sound Item Was equipped")
playerSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://2639636357"
playerSound.Volume = 1
playerAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2607315975"
playerWait.Value = 6.7649
playerEarnings.Value = 1
end)
elseif SoundPlaying.Value == true then
wait(0.1)
end
In my game, a if statement needs to be constantly checking a BoolValue, since I'm making a inventory and it needs to check if a SoundItem is already equipped. a BoolValue is perfect for this. I know how to make it so when the BoolValue is true, code will run, but when it's false, then another type of code runs, but how do i make the If statement loop, so it can always keep checking?
Please note that the if statement is supposed to run a function, so using a while loop wouldn't work.

Your question is too complex without knowing how your "Inventory" works. Please give some explanation and show some code. pidgey 548 — 6y

Yeah, you need to give us a full in-depth on it, or I can't help as easily xD. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y

.Changed should only run when the value changes, let me know if this works as you're hoping for.
local SoundPlaying = WorkspacePlayer.UpperTorso.IsSoundPlaying
Soundplaying.Changed:Connect(function()
if SoundPlaying.Value == false then
Soundbutton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
print("Sound Item Was equipped")
playerSound.SoundId = "rbxassetid://2639636357"
playerSound.Volume = 1
playerAnim.AnimationId = "rbxassetid://2607315975"
playerWait.Value = 6.7649
playerEarnings.Value = 1
end)
elseif SoundPlaying.Value == true then
wait(0.1)
end
end)

So basically you wanna run a loop
while true do if boolvalue == true then --runcode elseif boolvalue == false then --runcode end wait() --so doesn't cause an infinite loop end
Is this what you're asking?

I tried this, but it ran the function about 100 times at once, instead of just running one time. And the false code just wont run when the BoolValue becomes false. The true value would always be running. Starflyerz 44 — 6y

Yeah I think that's what he wants, nice job. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y

Well then why isn't this working like I'd like it to? I tried everything I know, but the true value code keeps running even if the BoolValue is false! Starflyerz 44 — 6y

If it keeps on running it, add in the loop, boolvalue.Value = false, making that loop stop, and in the false loop, add your stuff in there. However, if you are not going to have just a print in the false loop then this would be more complex than it should be. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y

Well yeah I'm actually using a MouseButton1Click Function inside of it, so maybe that's why. Starflyerz 44 — 6y

Star it would help if you sent us some code but the method should be the same as I posted windstrike 27 — 6y

Try this:
while true do if boolvalue == true then --runcode repeat wait() until boolvalue == false elseif boolvalue == false then --runcode repeat wait() until boolvalue == true end end

Same thing happened, even though the value was true, the false code still ran. Starflyerz 44 — 6y

Are you testing it out in studio or the actual game, also, make sure you're using RemoteEvents if you're trying to get to the PlayerGui through the Server. TheOnlySmarts 233 — 6y
