I keep on getting a Script Timeout Error

Hello, I am keep on getting an error that says something like “Script Timeout, Exhausted”. This happened after I wrote a script to rotate a model using Pivots. This error makes the game freeze for few seconds. Is there a way to remove this error? Thank you.

Can you show da script? (character limit)

Do you have an infinite loop that doesnt have a wait()?

I don’t think it’s because of the script, the error says the while true do loop is causing the script timeout.

I have a while true do loop.

Instead of while true do make it while true and wait() do

Add some sort of wait() or yielding statement in your while loop somewhere so that it won’t cause that error.

Thank you, I didn’t think about while true do and wait().

I meant while wait() lol, it really doesnt matter though, it would be a minimal performance impact anyways. EDIT: it wouldn’t matter either to use task.wait() because there doesnt need to be any precision whatsoever the loop just needs to yield.

I never talked about performance

EDIT: also sorry I didn’t know you meant while wait(), my bad

Then what is the problem? lolll

there wasn’t a problem with the code, I just didn’t see why a true was needed, but since you meant “while wait() do” I decided to delete my reply from before to remove spam

EDIT:

I only said that because wait() is pretty much deprecated now, so I wanted to encourage use of it
