For loop doesn't break when there's no children

So I’m making a timer that runs during every wave. And I want to break it when there’s no children left in the folder. The problem is it doesn’t stop it when the condition is met. Tried doing return too but it still didn’t work.

local wave = workspace.Info.Wave
local TFM = require(game.ServerScriptService.Main.TFM)

wave.Changed:Connect(function()
	if wave ~= 1 or wave ~= 2 or wave ~= 3 or wave ~= 4 or wave ~= 5 or wave ~= 6 or wave ~= 7 or wave ~= 8 or wave ~= 9 then
		for i=60, 0, -1 do
			local timer = TFM:Convert(i, "Default", false)
			workspace.Info.Countdown.Value = timer
			task.wait(1)
			if workspace.InGameMobs:GetChildren() == 0 then
				break
			end
		end
	elseif wave ~= 10 then
		for i=90, 0, -1 do
			local timer = TFM:Convert(i, "Default", false)
			workspace.Info.Countdown.Value = timer
			task.wait(1)
			if workspace.InGameMobs:GetChildren() == 0 then
				break
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

Use the # to get the number of children. I believe that is the issue

local wave = workspace.Info.Wave
local TFM = require(game.ServerScriptService.Main.TFM)

wave.Changed:Connect(function()
	if wave ~= 1 or wave ~= 2 or wave ~= 3 or wave ~= 4 or wave ~= 5 or wave ~= 6 or wave ~= 7 or wave ~= 8 or wave ~= 9 then
		for i=60, 0, -1 do
			local timer = TFM:Convert(i, "Default", false)
			workspace.Info.Countdown.Value = timer
			task.wait(1)
			if #workspace.InGameMobs:GetChildren() == 0 then
				break
			end
		end
	elseif wave ~= 10 then
		for i=90, 0, -1 do
			local timer = TFM:Convert(i, "Default", false)
			workspace.Info.Countdown.Value = timer
			task.wait(1)
			if #workspace.InGameMobs:GetChildren() == 0 then
				break
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

Try #workspace.InGameMobs:GetChildren() this gets the length of table

oh @BabyNinjaTime was quicker :laughing:

Use Disconnect to stop events from triggering.

Sorry, I should get some sleep. I’m not even reading topic titles properly now.
