Stopping an if and returning to loop

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello.

As the title suggests, I need to know how to basically stop the rest of the if loop once a requirement is met, but I don’t know how to right now. The script is as follows:

--Variables
local Point1 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Point1")
local Point2 = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Point2")
local CommonChest = game.Workspace.CommonChest
local CommonChestBody = CommonChest.Body
local CommonChestHead = CommonChest.Head
local Pos1 = Point1.Position
local Pos2 = Point2.Position
--Positions
local X1 = Pos1.X
local Y1 = Pos1.Y
local Z1 = Pos1.Z
local X2 = Pos2.X
local Y2 = Pos2.Y
local Z2 = Pos2.Z
--Loop
while true do
	--Get random coordinates
	local xRand = math.random(math.min(X1, X2), math.max(X1, X2))
	local yRand = math.random(math.min(Y1, Y2), math.max(Y1, Y2))
	local zRand = math.random(math.min(Z1, Z2), math.max(Z1, Z2))
	--Execute
	if math.random(1,10) <= 5 then
		CommonClone = CommonChest:Clone()
		CommonClone:MoveTo(Vector3.new(xRand,yRand,zRand))
		print("Successfully created a Common Chest!")
	else
	if math.random(5,10) <= 7 then
			print("Successfully created a Rare Chest!")
		else 
			if math.random(8,10) <= 9 then
				print("Successfully created an Epic Chest!")
			else 
				print ("Successfully created a legendary chest!")
			end
		end
		CommonClone:Destroy()
	end	
	--Debug/Waittime
	print("Looped!!!!!!")
	local waittime = math.random(1,5)
	wait(waittime)
end

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can use return and it will stop execution past that point and return back to the beginning.
You should probably wait at the beginning though since it would create crates extremely fast in this case.

Ok, I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks,

And also quick question: can you destroy clones outside of the command they were given in? Ex. in an if loop.

#5

I’m unsure what your question is.
You can probably add them to a table and destroy them at later date.
Or delay the destroy function/add to debris.

#6

I want the chests to clone themselves and fall to the ground, but when the waittime runs out, I want it to be destroyed, but that doesn’t work, and I get an error in the output.

You should do something like:

local Chest = ... -- Spawned chest
delay(20, function()
  pcall(game.Destroy, Chest)
end)
