How do I check for an event and a game loop at the same time?

[DominoDominykas]

What do you want to achieve?
I am making a simple obby game with a game loop, where you have to complete an obby before the time ends (game loop), but I dont know how to have the game loop running (the “for i = 30, 1, -1 do” loop) while checking for the touched event from the end of the obby part at the same time.
How do I check for the event while having the game loop running? If possible, I’d like to do it in 1 script, so i can access the players and characters in my tables.

I recommend using “RunService”.
As you can do it all in one script if thats what you’re looking for.

here is a simpler solution this script should work by only having a function for detecting the player if he reaches the end and a loop for the timer:

local Win = false --this variable is to tell the loop to stop when the player reaches the end


YourDetectionPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	if hit.Parent:GetChildren("Humanoid") then--To be sure that the part got touched by a player
		Win = true
	end

end)



for i = 30,1,-1 do
	print(i)
	if Win == true then--if the win variable = true then we just stop the timer
		print("The Player Reached The end!")
		break--Stops the loop
	end
	wait(1)
end
if Win == false then--if the timer ended and the win variable is still = to false then it means that the player failed.
	print("the player failed to Reach the end in time")
end
