How do I break a loop of particles in the Character's Torso?
I'm trying to make a loop, but at the same time i want it to break after 10 seconds after the character spawns, so how do I do that?
Here's what I have so far:
while true do
wait()
script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
wait(10)
if wait(10) then
break
end
end
script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Transparency = 1

As far as i can see you want a partical emitter to go for ten seconds after the player spawns? OBenjOne 190 — 4y

What I usually do to break loops after a set amount of time is by counting the number of times the loop has run. For example,
edited code:
n = 0
while true do
wait (0.04)
n = n +0.04
script.Parent.CFrame = script.Parent.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
--you want to continually do this for 10 seconds right?
if n > 10 then -- after 10 seconds
script.Parent.ParticleEmitter.Transparency = 1
break
end
end
I am not sure how long wait() is but I think it is 0.04 seconds I will check. This should run for aproximentally ten seconds I think

Minimum wait is arround 0.0333 so 0.04 should work OBenjOne 190 — 4y

And the"--do something" is the code after the loop has been broken? Hwk3rAlt 14 — 4y

No it is what is being repeated for 10 seconds... I will need to make some changes... OBenjOne 190 — 4y

I am actually a bit confused on what you want to do here but i hope this works OBenjOne 190 — 4y

Is the script inside the character? OBenjOne 190 — 4y

The script runs, but the particles didn't disappear, instead it broke free from the character and the particles were still going. Hwk3rAlt 14 — 4y

I fixed the script, thanks by the way. Hwk3rAlt 14 — 4y
