local time = 0
local TrueValue= true
while Task.wait(1) do
time +=1
if TrueValue and time ~= 30 then continue end

–Rest of the code
return
end

You can actually combine that in a While true do and keep checking the time passed is less than the amount you want:

local variable = true -- This is the variable you want to check
local Duration = 10 -- time in seconds
local passedTime = 0 -- time passed

local function checkVariable()
    while passedTime < Duration do
        if not variable then
            print("Variable is no longer true.")
            return
        end
       task.wait(1)
        passedTime += 1
    end
    -- ur script here
end

checkVariable()

It doesnt seem to work and im not getting any errors in the output?

#5

its also because the value is already false not true

#6

the value is true, if it became false, it will return and print this Variable is no longer true.

#7

yes but the variable in my situation starts as false

#8

Never Mind I changed the script a bit and it works now! Thanks!
