why is the while loop continuing?

[last kindle]

bugs aside this has got to be some of the most unoptimized code, what are you trying to do?

[runic flare]

everything works

but the while loop ending

[last kindle]

the while loop ends when it shouldnt? or it doesnt end when it should

[runic flare]

doesnt end when it should

because if the name doesn't equal redcan, equippedvlaue is never turned false, do else equippedvlaue=false if the name isn't redcan

also blud u cant add string to string

local speedamount = script.Parent

game.Workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(function(descendent)
if descendent.Name == "redcan100speed" then
print("speed gained")
speedamount.Text = tostring(tonumber(speedamount.Text) + 100)
end
end)

The while equippedvlaue == true do loop starts as soon as DescendantAdded fires.
• Inside the loop, you wait 0.5s, then check the condition.
• Even if you set equippedvlaue = false later, that only happens after the if descendent.Name == "redcan100speed" condition is true.
• If the name isn’t "redcan100speed", that line never runs, so equippedvlaue stays true, and your loop never en

roblox has stupid proof string to number and number to string conversion in some cases

I gain the 100 speed and stuff but its like it skips over equippedvalue = false

basically everything works but that one part

[last kindle]

so you keep getting 100 speed every 0.5s?

[runic flare]

yeah

once the decendent is added

wait

am i slow?

i dont need a while loop there

right>

cuz like im just checking if the decendent added is redcan100 or not and the desendent added function checks for that

[last kindle]

yea

also every object in the game that gets added skips over the name check and just runs infinitely

[last kindle]

just make sure the object is named that before parenting it to the workspace
