Here's the simple script:

while wait() do
    print("In side loop print")
    wait(10)
end
print("Outside loop print")

put "break" under wait and see what happens Sapppower 17 — 5y

Reminder that while loops will always run on themselves until broken. Ignoring the code outside. Breaking the loop allows the script to continue executing code. SoftlockedUnderZero 668 — 5y

This loop will continue running until true is no longer true. Put "break" so it exits the loop. SaltyIceberg 81 — 5y

use spawn(function(), it creates a seperate thread of what you want. which allows you to run a loop and print outside the loop. greatneil80 2647 — 5y

You have to figure out if you want your loop to run forever, or if you want it to run until some condition is met. One common method is to use a "flag" to tell the loop to continue running:

local keepGoing = true   -- Flag
while (keepGoing) do
    -- Stuff
    if (stuffDone) do
        keepGoing = false
    end
end
print("Loop over!")
