How to detect if a for loop ends (solved)

Alright, so I’m trying to destroy a semi when it reaches the end point. I have the for loop that makes the semi move, but I’m trying to figure out how to check when the for loop ends.

Code I tried:

wait(0.8)
for i = 0.001,1,0.001 do
local lerpPos = script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.Part.CFrame,i)
script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(lerpPos)
task.wait(0.05)
end
print(‘this is after the loop ended’)

when the loop ends, it’ll go onto everything after the end. Add a line after the end and make it so it destroys the part by doing:

wait(0.8)
for i = 0.001,1,0.001 do
local lerpPos = script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.Part.CFrame,i)
script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(lerpPos)
task.wait(0.05)
end
print(‘this is after the loop ended’)
script.Parent:Destroy()

Well, I’ve already tried this. It doesn’t print anything or destroy anything

because it’ll go on for a long time since it waits 0.05. And it’ll repeat for a while since its starting on 0.001 and increasing by 0.001 Do. Should fix it. Make sure to add the part I put above. after the loop

for i = 0.1,1,0.1 do
local lerpPos = script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.Part.CFrame,i)
script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(lerpPos)
task.wait(0.05)
end

wait(0.8)
for i = 0.001,1,0.001 do
    local lerpPos = script.Parent.PrimaryPart.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.Part.CFrame,i)
    script.Parent:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(lerpPos)
    task.wait(0.05)
end
print("this is after the loop ended")

Since you’re looping it 1000 times and a wait 0.05 in between you gotta wait 50 seconds before it prints anything at all

Well, this made the script print the statement. Now the semi just flies across the road.

Consider using tween service instead. Way better than lerps.

Sure, how would I tween a whole model?

Actually, i’ll figure it out myself. Thanks for the responses!

I just wrote a script to tween the model. Do you still want it?

Ok, first. Unanchor everything other than the primary part. next weld everything to the primary part. After that, insert this script into the model. Edit it to your liking:

local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Goals = {
	CFrame = CFrame.new(workspace.Endpoint.Position)
}
local Info = TweenInfo.new(10)
local Model = script.Parent
local Tween = TS:Create(Model.PrimaryPart, Info, Goals)
Tween:Play() -- starts
Tween.Completed:Connect(function() -- after its done
	Model:Destroy()
end)
