You don’t make the new index included, for loops are for a fixed number of times that you loop, they are not built to be able to run forever. You could do this with a while loop, which is meant to run whenever a condition is true, because that condition can be changing at an unknown time

#122

I don’t know if its what you want but here’s my code:

local function newFunction(part)
	--code here
end

local connection = script.Parent.ChildAdded:Connect(function(object)
	newFunction(object)
end)

for i, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetChildren()) do
	newFunction(v)
	wait(1)
	
end

connection:Disconnect()
#123

To answer your question, no. It will not be included. It’s impossible to do what you are asking, without incorporating a while loop instead.

You would do something like this:

local Children = folder:GetChildren()

folder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Child) -- Adding instances
  table.insert(Children, Child)
end)

folder.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(Child) -- Also cover removing instances
  if table.find(Children, Child) then -- Find if there's an index this Child falls under.
    table.remove(Children, table.find(Children, Child)) -- Remove said item from the Children table.
  end
end)

local Current = 1

while true do
  if Current > #Children then
    break
  end
  local Child = Children[Current]
  -- Do something with Child
  task.wait(1) -- wait() is deprecated, use the task library for future projects
  Current += 1
end

How’s that so? How is he stuck in the last room?

#125

i dont know how that is possible but it seems hes stuck in a while loop
do you want me to look for errors again?

is this going to do what i need it to and sure continue the code after going trough the last child?

It will continue the code by breaking the loop after the last child is accounted for. That is the reason for the break statement.

#129

And then it will continue the code normall?
(Do the code nelow the loop?)

Yes. You can code below the loop. It will break after the last child.

#131

Do you have disgord so i can stream what just hwppened after running your code?

I do not, no, but anything that unexpected after running the modified version of your code incorporating the while loop would be what would happen as intended by the code.

PLEASE TELL ME I DID IT PROPERLY :sleepy:

local Rush_DB = true
function Rush()
	if Rush_DB then Rush_DB = false

		if script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value ~= nil then
			script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value:Destroy()

		end


		script.EVENTS.LIGHTS_CONTROLLER:Fire("FLICKER")
		script.EVENTS.HIDING_HIGHLIGHT:Fire()
		wait(4)

There is a very simple answer to this question: A for loop cannot include it…

I highly advise you use .ChildAdded instead of a for loop

Idk if this script works because I can’t find an efficient way to test it.
The method I used was to create a movement function and repeat it if there is any room to check.

local Rush_DB = true
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Entities = script.ENTITY_FOLDER

function Rush()
	if Rush_DB then 
		Rush_DB = false
		
		-- If the event runs when Rush exists, the current one is destroyed
		if Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value ~= nil then
			Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value:Destroy()
		end
		
		-- Activate the warning that the entity is approaching
		script.EVENTS.LIGHTS_CONTROLLER:Fire("FLICKER")
		script.EVENTS.HIDING_HIGHLIGHT:Fire()
		task.wait(4.0)
		
		-- Make the entity appear
		local newRush = Entities.RUSH.Value:Clone()
		local blacklist = {}
		Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value = newRush
		newRush.Parent = game.Workspace
		
		newRush.RUSH.CHASE:Play()
		newRush.RUSH.CHASE_INNER:Play()
		newRush.CFrame = script.SPAWN_ROOM.Value:FindFirstChild("END").CFrame
		task.wait(4.0)
		
		-- Function that checks if there are rooms in which Rush didn't pass
		local function everyRoom()
			for index, room in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
				if blacklist[room] ~= nil then
					return false
				end
			end
			return true
		end
		
		-- Move the entity		
		local function moveRush()
			for index, room in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
				if room:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
					if blacklist[room] == nil then
						table.insert(blacklist, room)
						
						for a, b in ipairs(room.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
							if newRush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
								local anglePart = b
								
								if anglePart then
									local tween = TweenService:Create(
										newRush,
										TweenInfo.new(
											script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,
											Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),
										{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}
									)
									tween:Play()
									task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
		
		-- untouched rooms = movement doesn't end
		repeat task.wait()
			moveRush()
		until everyRoom()
		
		if Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value ~= nil then
			if Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value.RUSH.RUNNING.Value == true then
				Entities.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value:Destroy()
			end
		end
		
		Rush_DB = true
	end
end

Anyway if it doesnt work, I made the code friendlier in case someone wants to help you in the future

#137

thanks for trying i will check if it works asap

#138
