Scripts Executing Before Variable Loads

[void bane]

I have scripts that run constantly while the game is played, and they rely on global variables. However, it appears that occasionally these scripts load before the variables are established in later-loaded scripts. As such, I have had to add "_G.var = _G.var or 0" to the top of every script using these global variables.

Is there an easier way to tell the script "do not execute until this variable is not nil?"

if not variable then var = variable end ?

declare it inside of the running function

[left tendon]

you can delay script execution until the variable is available using a simple repeat ... wait() until loop maybe?

repeat task.wait() until varibleName
