I want a trinket to spawn at a part every 25 seconds then if nobody picks it up after 50 seconds it despawns. The script works but it spawn a trinket 25 second then it wait until it despawn to spawn another trinket. Any help!??!?!?

the script repeats that script every 25 seconds but in the script it has wait(50) so it waits an additional 50 seconds before ending and repeating, try using a function instead and repeat that

#3 
local function SpawnTrinket(v)
	local Despawn_Time = 50
	local Trinket = game.ReplicatedStorage.Trinket:GetChildren()
	local randomItem = Trinket[math.random(1, #Trinket)]
	
	if v.Name == "Part" then
		if v.Transparency == 0.9 then return end
		v.Transparency = 0.9
		local Newrand = randomItem:Clone()
		Newrand.Parent = v

		Newrand.Handle.CFrame = v.CFrame

		print("Part spawned")
		wait(Despawn_Time)
		print("Part Despawned")
		if Newrand.Parent == v then
			Newrand:Destroy()
		end
		v.Transparency = 1
	end
end

while wait(25) do
	
	
for i,v in pairs(workspace.TrinketSpawn:GetChildren()) do

	
	SpawnTrinket(v)
	
	end
end

Still didnt work. Did I do it wrong?

maybe u can put the despawn part in a separate script in the trinket bc if ur storing it in anything but SSS or Workspace the script wont run so if u make a scrip in the trinket and simple just make it wait 50 seconds and then despawn the trinket, then u should be able to remove the despawn part in the other script. Cant help anymore i have to go so i wont be able to reply anymore.

		local Newrand = randomItem:Clone()
		table.insert(trinkets, Newrand)
		Newrand.Parent = v

		Newrand.Handle.CFrame = v.CFrame
		
		task.wait(50) -- waits 50 seconds before deleting
		if Newrand.Parent == v and table.find(trinkets, Newrand) then
			table.remove(trinkets, Newrand)
			Newrand:Destroy()
		end
		v.Transparency = 1
	end
end

while task.wait(25) do -- this executes the spawnTrinket function every 25 seconds
	SpawnTrinket("your_path_here")
end
