Spawn function doesn't run loop

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have a spawn function which I wanna use to run a looped function while running another function at same time, this looped function although having a while loop for some reason runs only once

function Rotate(Target)
	while true do
		wait()
                print("d")
	end
end

Run.Stepped:Connect(function()
       --pretend theres some code here
       spawn(function()
	       Rotate()
       end)
end)

I can’t script, so I might be totally off with this one, but can’t you put in an extra command that loops the code inside it?

#3

I would recommend using repeat code until inside the spawned function since that would allow you to make it stop looping at some point, otherwise it will just continuously run forever. (or you can just break the loop from inside.)

As for it running only once, the code you provided behaves normally and loops when tried out. Could you provide the complete script so that we might be able to determine the true cause, which would be within the rest of the script.

#4

As said above, unless a loop has a break statement in it, it will run forever, meaning any code underneath it will not be ran. If you have a loop just waiting and printing “d”, then you don’t need it. Can we see the full code so we can see what you’re trying to do please?

#5

I use the spawn function when there is a touched event with any body part

#6

Saying this does not help, the issue could be anything as simple as just you using the function above or below something you should not. But we need to see the code to be able to determine that.

#7

Your function won’t work, it’s pretty useless, also for better usage of loops and preventing loops to exhaust, you can remove the wait under your while true do and replace it with this

while wait() do
  print("d")
end
#8

Having the wait in the loop or the conditional has no difference.

Please read this topic for further reference:

I tested just that part of code. It should work perfectly fine so it isn’t the spawn function.
So it is not the spawn function that doesn’t run the loop. It’s something else in your code.

#10

The spawn function was not placed where it should be, you must place it on the block of the loop.
Try this script, it should fix your issue
