Code that can be used instead to achieve this:

local RbxUtility = LoadLibrary("RbxUtility")

local function waitUntilTimeout(event, timeout)
    local signal = RbxUtility.CreateSignal()
    local conn = nil
    conn = event:Connect(function(...)
        conn:Disconnect()
        signal:fire(...)
    end)

    delay(timeout, function()
        if (conn ~= nil) then
            conn:Disconnect()
            conn = nil
            signal:fire(nil)
        end
    end)

    return signal:wait()
end

-- Example usage
local child = waitUntilTimeout(game.Workspace.ChildAdded, 5)
if (child == nil) then
    print("ChildAdded did not fire before timeout")
else
    print("New child " .. tostring(child) .. " added")
end
