Example:
Hi = true
while Hi do
print("Everything is awesome!")
end
Example:
Hi = true
while Hi do
print("Everything is awesome!")
end
A while (condition) do loop executes the code it a continuous loop as long as condition = true.
Hi = true
while Hi do
print("Everything is awesome!")
wait()
end
This can be substituted with more concise code.
while wait() do
print("Everything is awesome!")
end
If you see while true do, that intends to be executed forever, and if there is no wait, could crash a computer. Better practice for an endless while loop is while wait() do. That accomplishes the same thing without crashing a computer as well as being more concise and readable. It should also be noted that if a script hits a while true do loop that's outside of a coroutine it will not execute any code below it. For example,
while wait() do
print("Everything is awesome!")
end
while wait() do
print('Coding is awesome.')
end
--[[
endless output: Everything is awesome!
'Coding is awesome' is never printed
--]]
It should also be noted that anything that doesn't explicitly results in false returns true. For instance,
Hi = 2+2
while Hi do
print(Hi)
wait()
end
--endless output: 4
Hi = 'Everything is awesome!'
while Hi do
print(Hi)
wait()
end
--endless output: Everything is awesome!
As opposed to,
Hi = 4 < 3
while Hi do
print(Hi)
wait()
end
--no output
it endlessly repeats
print('Everything is awesome!')
to stop this you want to do
Hi = true
while Hi do
print("Everything is awesome!")
wait(1)
end
