How do I check if a loop is done?

Hello everyone.

I am working on a part spawning game, and a feature in question is spawning more than one part. How can I prevent players from spamming the button (that spawns the objects) until the loop is done?

This is an example:

for i = 1, 5 do 
spawnPart()
end

Is there any way to check if i = 5? is it just:

if i = 5 then 
end

Thank you.

You can try a debounce check or similar. I will assume you have code that triggers that loop already.

For instance:

local SpawningParts = false
if SpawningParts == false then
	SpawningParts = true
	for i = 1, 5 do
		-- code here
	end
	SpawningParts = false
end

Traditionally, “SpawningParts” would be called “debounce” but I personally like relating variable names to its function.

And to answer your second question, the loop will end once “i” equals 5
