Make loop include

guildedcow · August 9, 2023, 3:24am

i hope this helps you sir

local function s_t(t)
     local s = 0
     for _, _ in pairs(t) do
          s = s+ 1
     end
end

local function do_thing(a)

end

local ct = f:GetChildren()
local i = 0
local nc = s_t(childrenTable)

local ca_c = nil

local d = 1

while i < nc or (0 == 1) do
     if ca_c ~= nil then 
          ca_c:Disconnect()
          ca_c = nil
     end

     ca_c = f.ChildAdded:Connect(function(c) 
           nc = nc + 1
           ct[nc] = c
     end)

    local cc = ct[i]
    do_thing(cc) -- do thing to instance

     i = i + 1
     wait(d)
end

if you need anything explained im busy so ask someone else

i believe that this script can help you

local folder: Folder
local children = folder:GetChildren()

local INDEX = 1
while true do
  if INDEX > #children then break end
  local instance = children[INDEX]
  --code

  INDEX += 1
end

folder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(i)
  table.insert(children, i)
end)

folder.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(i)
  local tf = table.find(children, i)
  if tf then
    table.remove(children, tf)
  end
end)

what it does is connect to the event that fires whenever a child is added to the folder, and adds it to the list containing all the children of the folder. since it is not iterating directly through the list passed through the pairs() function, the loop will dynamically contain all of the children within the folder during the loop. i have also handled children being removed too.

No offense but the naming gets me confused.

AlaTomKing · August 9, 2023, 7:19am

You could send the specific script you’re having trouble or trying to implement on. Sending a whole project is risky.

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 2:14pm

my initial code looks like this.

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()
		else
		end


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

		local Cloned_Rush = script.ENTITY_FOLDER.RUSH.Value:Clone()

		script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value = Cloned_Rush

		Cloned_Rush.Parent = game.Workspace

		--game.Debris:AddItem(Cloned_Rush,20)


		Cloned_Rush.RUSH.CHASE:Play()
		Cloned_Rush.RUSH.CHASE_INNER:Play()

		local SPAWN_ROOM_NUMBER = script.ROOM_AMOUNT.Value -6

		local SPAWNROOM = script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:FindFirstChild(SPAWN_ROOM_NUMBER)

		Cloned_Rush.CFrame = script.SPAWN_ROOM.Value:FindFirstChild("END").CFrame

		wait(4)


		local alreadyMovedTo = {}
		for a,b in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
			table.insert(alreadyMovedTo,b)
			if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
				for c,d in ipairs(b.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
					if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
						local anglePart = d
						if anglePart then
							game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush,TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}):Play()
							task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
						end
					else
					end
					task.wait()
					if #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() > #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() and a >= #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() then
						task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
						local done = 0
						for c,d in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
							if not table.find(alreadyMovedTo,d) then
								if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
									for e,f in ipairs(d.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do

											end
										end
									end
								end
							end
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end

		if script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value ~= nil then
			if script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value.RUSH.RUNNING.Value == true then
				script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value:Destroy()
			end
		end

		Rush_DB = true
	end
end

there do you have the script you requested

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 2:37pm

awesomecooldude87:

local folder: Folder
local children = folder:GetChildren()

local INDEX = 1
while true do
  if INDEX > #children then break end
  local instance = children[INDEX]
  --code

  INDEX += 1
end

folder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(i)
  table.insert(children, i)
end)

folder.ChildRemoved:Connect(function(i)
  local tf = table.find(children, i)
  if tf then
    table.remove(children, tf)
  end
end)

i would like to get explained how this code works

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 2:37pm

i tried it and it didnt work. sorry ):

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 2:38pm

please explain how this works. i dont understand it

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 2:40pm

griffeyiscool:

local MyTable = {}
local TrackTime = 0

folder.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Obj)
    table.insert(MyTable, Obj)
end)

TrackTime = table.maxn(MyTable)
for a, b in ipairs(MyTable) do
    if table.maxn(MyTable) ~= TrackTime then
        return b
    else
        wait(1)
    end
end)

thanks you for trying to help me. this is what i made out of your code… is it correct?

		local MyTable = script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER:GetChildren()
		local TrackTime = 0

		script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value.ChildAdded:Connect(function(Obj)
			table.insert(MyTable, Obj)
		end)

		TrackTime = table.maxn(MyTable)
		for a, b in ipairs(MyTable) do
			if table.maxn(MyTable) ~= TrackTime then
				return b
			else
				
				if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
					for c,d in ipairs(b.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
						if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
							local anglePart = d
							if anglePart then
								game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush,TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}):Play()
								task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
							end
						else
						end
					end
				end
				wait(1)
			end

this script is unable to make rush move even one single room. it directly makes him disappear

daniel:

local folder = -- As you wish

local i = 1
while true do
    local children = folder:GetChildren()
    if i <= #children then
        local child = children[i]
        
        -- A room was added during the loop, do something...
        
        wait(1)
        i = i + 1
    else
        -- Otherwise, you can break the loop if there's no new rooms.
        -- And all other rooms have been iterated over.
        wait(1) 
    end
end

where to put the tween stuff??? i dont know where to put it?

how does this work? i need to include this code into it to make it go trough the rooms!

Idk if that’s your intention.
I made it that any future rooms gets added to the loop and if the loop is done, no new rooms will get gone through. If you want them to get gone through, lemme know.

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()
		task.wait(4)

		local Cloned_Rush = script.ENTITY_FOLDER.RUSH.Value:Clone()

		script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value = Cloned_Rush

		Cloned_Rush.Parent = game.Workspace

		--game.Debris:AddItem(Cloned_Rush,20)


		Cloned_Rush.RUSH.CHASE:Play()
		Cloned_Rush.RUSH.CHASE_INNER:Play()

		local SPAWN_ROOM_NUMBER = script.ROOM_AMOUNT.Value -6

		local SPAWNROOM = script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:FindFirstChild(SPAWN_ROOM_NUMBER)

		Cloned_Rush.CFrame = script.SPAWN_ROOM.Value:FindFirstChild("END").CFrame

		task.wait(4)

		local activeRoomsChildren = script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()
		--local alreadyMovedTo = {}

		script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
			table.insert(activeRoomsChildren, child)
		end) -- adds the future children to the existing table
		
		for idx,b in pairs(activeRoomsChildren) do
			--table.insert(alreadyMovedTo,b)
			if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
				for c,d in ipairs(b.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
					if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
						local anglePart = d
						if anglePart then
							game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush,TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}):Play()
							task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
						end
					end

					--[[task.wait()

					if #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() > #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() and idx >= #script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren() then
						task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
						
						local done = 0
						
						for c,d in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
							if not table.find(alreadyMovedTo,d) then
								if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
									for e,f in ipairs(d.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
										if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
											local anglePart = f
											if anglePart then
												game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush,TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}):Play()
												task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
											end
										end
									end
								end
							end
						end
					end]]
				end
			end
		end

		if script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value ~= nil then
			if script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value.RUSH.RUNNING.Value == true then
				script.ENTITY_FOLDER.ACTIVE_RUSH.Value:Destroy()
			end
		end

		Rush_DB = true
	end
end

If my method doesn’t work, I could try someone else’s method and credit them.

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 8:02pm

yes i want the new rooms to be gone trough too

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 8:04pm

i am trying out this method rooght now the info if it works will be given to you asap

WHOTEI · August 9, 2023, 8:07pm

okay so this works but when he reached the last room he is stuck instead of disappearing like it was intended
