Function only running once

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So basically, I have a script here that manages the destroyed / attacked npcs for my simulator. But, the thing is is that while another npc is destroyed and a player attemps to destroy another npc, the npc that the player is trying to destroy doesn’t work unless they wait 25 seconds for the other npc to be spawned in again. By the wait, the script is in a local script.

task.spawn(function()
	while task.wait(1) do
		if player.Values.SentTo.Value ~= nil then
			local damage = 10
			player.Values.SentTo.Value.Health.Value = math.max(player.Values.SentTo.Value.Health.Value - damage, 0)
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Assets.SoundEffects["Scythe Swish"]:Play()
			player.Values.SentTo.Value.Highlight.Enabled = true
			wait(0.2)
			player.Values.SentTo.Value.Highlight.Enabled = false
			if player.Values.SentTo.Value.Health.Value == 0 then
				remotes.StopDamaging:FireServer()
				destroyDrop(player.Values.SentTo.Value)
			end
		end
	end
end)

Destroy drop function

local function destroyDrop(drop)
	task.wait(0.5)
	local oldParent = drop.Parent
	for i = 0,37 do
		wait(.01)
		drop.MainPart.Transparency += .05
	end
	drop.Parent = despawnedDrops
	wait(25)
	drop.MainPart.Transparency = 0
	drop.Health.Value = drop.MaxHealth.Value
	drop.Parent = oldParent
end

Have you tried wrapping your code inside destroyDrop within task.spawn?

Yes I did, still doesn’t work. I still have to wait 25 seconds to attack another npc.
