How do I Loop code for each part in pairs?
I am trying to move the player to each part in pairs. I am not sure on what to do here. It will move player to the first part in pairs but not the others. Any help would be great.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
for _, v in pairs(game.Workspace.Test:GetChildren()) do
while wait(1) do
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = v.PrimaryPart.CFrame
end
end

It's because it's a LocalScript. The LocalPlayer only refers to the player associated with the client, not every player in the game. DeceptiveCaster 3761 — 4y

You seem to have misunderstood the question. The character is supposed to teleport to each part, not all players to one part. programmerHere 371 — 4y

I understand its a locascript I did it that way so I can test. I will change that later. It works but it is just moveing player to the first v over and over and not to the next one. DBoi941 57 — 4y

The while loop is never terminating, thus not allowing for a second+ iteration.
Loops act like "walls" to code under it, but not in it.
Let this be an example:
local i = 0;
while (i < 10) do
i = i + 1;
end
print("text\nmore text");
The string is printed only after the while loop has terminated.
So the while loop's body will teleport the local player, and the for loop won't iterate a second time because of that loop.
local Workspace, client = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer, game:GetService("Workspace");
for _, part in ipairs(Workspace.Test:GetChildren()) do
client.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(part.CFrame);
wait(1);
end
If you want to do this forever, then just wrap it in a while loop:
while (true) do
for _, part in ipairs(Workspace.Test:GetChildren()) do
client.Character:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(part.CFrame);
wait(1);
end
end
Notice that wait is not called in the conditional part of the while loop. Do not do this. This idiom only works because of a hack; a trick. Use true (or some other constant condition), as it is clearer.
