local meditating = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	meditating = true

	while wait(1.5) do
		if meditating == true then
			player.PsychicPower.Value = player.PsychicPower.Value  + 1 * player.PPMulti.value*player.PPZoneMulti.Value
		end
	end
end)

You would want to try cancel the loop

So do something like:

local player = game:GetService("Players"):WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
local meditating = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	meditating = true

	while wait(1.5) do
		if meditating == true then
			player.PsychicPower.Value = player.PsychicPower.Value  + 1 * player.PPMulti.value*player.PPZoneMulti.Value
   else
           break/return
          
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	meditating = false
end)

Do you mind if i see your updated code again then?

#11

local player = game:GetService(“Players”):WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
local meditating = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
meditating = true

while wait(1.5) do
	if meditating == true then
		player.PsychicPower.Value = player.PsychicPower.Value  + 1 * player.PPMulti.value*player.PPZoneMulti.Value
	else
		Break

	end
end

end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
meditating = false
end)

Didint work and

local player = game:GetService(“Players”):WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
local meditating = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
meditating = true

while wait(1.5) do
	if meditating == true then
		player.PsychicPower.Value = player.PsychicPower.Value  + 1 * player.PPMulti.value*player.PPZoneMulti.Value
	else
		return

	end
end

end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
meditating = false
end)

ok now i am confused explain me more

#16 
local player = game:GetService("Players"):WaitForChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name)
local meditating = false

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	meditating = true

	while wait(1.5) do
		if meditating == true then
			player.PsychicPower.Value = player.PsychicPower.Value  + 1 * player.PPMulti.value*player.PPZoneMulti.Value
   else
           break
          
		end
	end
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	meditating = false
end)

there that it was it could look like
with a lowercase b for break

#17

Tryed that still didint work any other ideas to fix

#18

hmmmmm this is confusing as the while loop is constantly being called and not stopped meaning it duplicates the + 1 but a break or return should stop that

#19

Where is the script located and why type of script is it?

#20

its in the tool self and its a normal script
