hello. i got this code and i want it to break if all children of the ROOMS_FOLDER got the value in it.
how would i do so?

		while true do
			for a,b in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
				if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
					if not b:FindFirstChild("WeWentTroughThisAlready") then
						local GoneTroughVal = Instance.new("BoolValue")
						GoneTroughVal.Parent = b
						GoneTroughVal.Name = "WeWentTroughThisAlready"
						if b:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
							for c,d in ipairs(b.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
								local anglePart = d
								if anglePart then
									game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush,TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear),{CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)}):Play()
									task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
								end
							end
						end
					else
					end
				end
			end
		end

how would i do so? pls help

Try this.

while true do
    local allChildrenProcessed = true
    
    for _, room in pairs(script.ACTIVE_ROOMS_FOLDER.Value:GetChildren()) do
        if Cloned_Rush.RUSH.DAMAGE.RUNNING.Value == true then
            if not room:FindFirstChild("WeWentTroughThisAlready") then
                allChildrenProcessed = false
                
                local GoneTroughVal = Instance.new("BoolValue")
                GoneTroughVal.Parent = room
                GoneTroughVal.Name = "WeWentTroughThisAlready"
                
                if room:FindFirstChild("CHASE_NODES") then
                    for _, node in ipairs(room.CHASE_NODES:GetChildren()) do
                        local anglePart = node
                        if anglePart then
                            game.TweenService:Create(Cloned_Rush, TweenInfo.new(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = anglePart.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 0)}):Play()
                            task.wait(script.ENEMY_SPEED.Value)
                        end
                    end
                end
            end
        end
    end
    
    if allChildrenProcessed then
        break
    end
end

The break function will fully stop the loop if all players were processed.

Sorry I’m writing multiple scripts at once, ignore that little error.

        end
    end
    
    if allChildrenProcessed then
        break

end

maybe try and put the value on the outfit of the loop

we are so close to the solution… the only problem is that with my version he infinitely does this cycle.

that’s because allChildrenProcessed never becomes true meaning the loop goes forever
