Script doesn't work when I disable/enable it

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright, I’ve got 2 scripts, I took them from toolbox and altered a bit, anyway, here they are
This one makes the NPC follow the player

local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	
	function findNearestTorso(pos)
	local list = game.Workspace:children()
	local torso = nil
	local dist = 10000
	local temp = nil
	local human = nil
	local temp2 = nil
	for x = 1, #list do
		temp2 = list[x]
		if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
			temp = temp2:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			human = temp2:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
			if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
				if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
					torso = temp
					dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
				end
			end
		end
	end
	return torso
end




while true do
	wait()
	local player = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	if player ~= nil then
		script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(player.CFrame * CFrame.new(3, 0, 2).Position, player)
		

	
	end

end

And this one makes it follow the enemy (zombie in this case)

local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")

	function findNearestTorso(pos)
	local list = game.Workspace:children()
	local torso = nil
	local dist = 10000
	local temp = nil
	local human = nil
	local temp2 = nil
	for x = 1, #list do
		temp2 = list[x]
		if (temp2.className == "Model") and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
			temp = temp2:findFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
			human = temp2:findFirstChild("Zombie")
			if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
				if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
					torso = temp
					dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
				end
			end
		end
	end
	return torso
end




while true do
	wait()
	local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
	if target ~= nil then
		script.Parent.Humanoid:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
		
		
	
		
	end

end

And I want to make a system in which when player presses F, the FollowEnemy script gets disabled and FollowPlayer script gets enabled and vice versa, when player presses G the FollowPlayer script gets disabled and FollowEnemy gets enabled, I already wrote a script like that and it works as it should, but these two scripts just don’t want to work after getting enabled

Help?

In the while true do function, try adding a boolvalue child in the script and change it to while (script.bool) do
To change the bool value, add another script and a remote event where the remote event gets triggered with the local script and when the script detects the remote, it changes the bool

if your confused just reply

Hell yeah! Works like a charm now, turns out it was so obvious, even for a complete amateur like me. Thank you! Small addition: I also had to add while true do before while bool.value == true do so the value always gets checked (script wouldn’t work without it)
