Syntax error on ServerScriptService

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

After giving up since January, I gave scripting a new chance, and I tried making a function out of memory.

local definingTimes = 0



local function learningtoScript(times, waitTime)
    times = definingTimes
	repeat until times = 69 
	print("OP is so cool and attractive")
	wait(0.05)
	times = times + 1
end

learningtoScript()

Gave me a syntax error of "ServerScriptService.Script:7: Expected identifier when parsing expression, got ‘=’ "

What is wrong with my script and how can I optimize it, can you give me some good practices otw?

replace your = with == to check for equality

What’s the difference between = and ==?

#4

“=” for set something
“==” for compare

It’s giving me error ServerScriptService.Script:13: Script timeout: exhausted allowed execution time

#6

repeat wait() until?

ignore this, its limit of 30

#7

What does that change in the script?

#8

Wait i’m so dumb sorry. I didn’t realize the repeat thing

#9

Not sure how to explain… But I am pretty sure thats why it is timing out.

It will wait. If you do not wait, then it will not have a cooldown and it will run at godlike speeds, then eventually crash your studio, or something

No the reason why is because my idiotic self didn’t put the code inside the lua repeat codehere until

I added the wait inside the function but thank you.
