Efficient way to break loops?

#1

If i made a loop:
while true do

[code here]
end
What would be the most efficient way to break that loop?

#2

Use the conditional part of the loop or use the break keyword.

Well since its

while true do

It will never end unless the script is completely disabled.
You could instead do something like

local count = 0
repeat 
    count = count + 1
    -your code
    wait(.1)
until count == 100

That would repeat that loop 100 times

No, please don’t, because repeat and while have different applications. This is unnecessary use of a repeat loop. incapaz’s answer is the right one here: use the conditional properly or use the break keyword to stop a loop.

local humanoid = whatever

while humanoid do -- humanoid variable is not false or nil
    someWork()
end

while true do
    if someWorkEncountersSweetSpot() then
        break
    end
end
