Hi can someone help me with this script

Hi so ive got this script where it checks if your in the range in the magnitude but how can i make it so it keeps on checking until someone gets to the magnitude

Heres the code:

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() 
local Equiped = false
local character = Player.Character 

if not character or not character.Parent then
	character = Player.CharacterAdded:wait() 
end
local Enabled = false

local Power = 10




local Holding = false
Mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function() 
	Power = 10
	
	
	Holding = true
	while Holding == true do
	
		wait()
		print(Power)

				Power += 3.42
		
				
			
		if Power >= 80 then
			Power = 80
			
			end
		end
	

end)

Mouse.Button1Up:Connect(function()
		Holding = false


		if (character["Right Leg"].Position - game.Workspace.Ball.Position).Magnitude <= 2 then
		game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):FindFirstChild("RemoteEvent"):FireServer(game.Workspace.Ball)

			local F = Instance.new("BodyVelocity") -- Creates a Force
			F.P = 9
			F.Parent = game.Workspace.Ball -- Makes the force act on the ball
			F.Name = script.Name -- Make the force's name the script's name
			F.velocity = character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.lookVector * Power + Vector3.new(0,Power - 40,0)  -- The force is where the Right Leg is looking (so if your right leg was looking towards the goal then the ball would go to the goal) and its given a certain value to go against (the higher the number, the faster the ball would go)


			F.maxForce = Vector3.new(math.huge,math.huge,math.huge) -- The maximum force it's allowed to give the ball 
			game.Debris:AddItem(F,0.3) -- This destroys the Force within 0.3 seconds without stopping the code so it doesn't keep the ball moving
			
		end
		
	end


end)

You cold use a while loop with magnitude reached as condition

Could you show me how it would look the code please.

while task.wait(1) do
    print("Hello world!")
end

Maybe you could try this:

HumanoidRootPart:GetPropertySignalChanged(“Position”):Connect(function()
-- check distance
if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - workspace.Ball.Position).Magnitude < integer then
-- code
end
end)

P.S. this fires every time the player moves

Dunno if I’d recommend this exact method for performance

#6 
local condition = false

while not condition do
wait()
if magnitude < x then
condition = true
end
end)
#7

How could i make it so it destroys the loop after some time so it just doesnt carry on for the game.

#8 
break

If you’re using @fontorax‘s method you could use the keyword “break”

break escapes the loop (similar to RbxEventSignal:Disconnect())

#9

Ive never used this before where would i put it in the code?

#10

You’d put it wherever you want the code to stop. Here’s an example:

while blah do
if myCondition == true then
break
end
end

print(“Hello World!”) -- Runs after myCondition == true

Also, this isn’t the most performance safe method, the while loop might crash studio for you.

#11

If i make it break like 0.4 seconds later will it keep checking the magnitude until it gets to 0.4 seconds?

#12

Uhh, you’d have to create a thread inside the while loop that waits 0.4 seconds; if you do, yeah it’ll keep checking for 0.4 seconds then stop.

Maybe if that doesn’t work maybe you could try this :wink:

HumanoidRootPart:GetPropertySignalChanged(“Position”):Connect(function()
-- check distance
task.spawn(function()
task.wait(0.4)
return
end)
if (HumanoidRootPart.Position - workspace.Ball.Position).Magnitude < integer then
-- code
end
end)

Could try the code or not, that’s on you; just my recommendation :slight_smile:

#13

What im trying to achieve here is so it loops for 0.4 seconds and keeps on checking the magnutude then the loop just breaks after

#14

Repeat
print(‘hi’)
until magnitude found

#15

breaks after what is the question.

You need to setup some condition that needs to be met before it breaks.

#16

I used that code now the ball just doesnt kick.

#17

Oh, just remove the “task.spawn()” part cause it breaks the loop like instantly. Try again ig

P.S. I added it because you were talking about that

Remove this:

task.spawn(function()
task.wait(0.4)
return
end)

I’ll be awaiting your response :relieved:

#18

Wait so remove the whole selection youve just typed

#19

Wait don’t do that, I meant delete this section (not the entire thing):


task.spawn(function()
task.wait(0.4)
return
end)

—I’ll be awaiting your response :slight_smile:—

#20

It says “GetPropertySignalChanged is not a valid member of part Workspace.aidanoldo.HumanoidRootPart”
