I get

when trying to wait for a WeldConstraint to load and I’ve tried using math.huge or a number in the script but it stops the rest of the script from working or gives an error or an infinite yield again

The infinite yield sometimes stops the script from working as well.

script:

local weldB = script.Parent:WaitForChild("WeldConstraint")
wait()

weldB:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Enabled"):Connect(function()
	wait(4)
    script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

I’ve also tried FindFirstChild which just gives me another error

I think putting math.huge halts the script because that instance just doesn’t exist. You should playtest the game and check in the explorer for that weld while playing.

Try using FindFirstChild

local weldB = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("WeldConstraint")

I’d do that if i was just looking for the weld but its part of the rest of a script that line was just a portion.

local weldB = script.Parent:WaitForChild("WeldConstraint")
wait()

weldB:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Enabled"):Connect(function()
	wait(4)
    script.Parent:Destroy()
end)

When I try to do that I just get

Maybe disable the last four lines with a comment so you can check if the weld exists.

Can you please rename other WeldConstrait? because you are only looking for one and you name both Weld.

You should rename the weld you’re trying to reference, otherwise the script doesn’t know which one you’re talking about.
