Weird Coding Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’ve started to learn how to code in “Lua” or Roblox’s version of it so bear with me. I have a script I’m working on wor wall sliding and jumping like in ultra kill, but the issue is that after line 50 I cannot execute any more code


local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local char = script.Parent
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Colider = char.Collider
local TouchingWall = false
local NotOnGround = true
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
slide = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
Dismount = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
WallSlide = false

--stuff

local part = char.Collider

local function onTouched(otherPart)
	--print(part.Name .. " collided with " .. otherPart.Name)
	if otherPart.Name == "Wall" then
		TouchingWall = true
		--print("Touching wall")
	else
		TouchingWall = false
		--print("NOT Touching Wall")
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)

while true do
	if Humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then
		--print("NOT on ground")
		NotOnGround = true

	else
		--print("on ground")
		NotOnGround = false
	end
	wait()

	if NotOnGround and TouchingWall == true then
		WallSlide = true
	else
		
		WallSlide = false
		
	end
end

I have tried moving things around and trying to compress the code, but I can’t come up with a working solution. hence why I’m looking to the community for help

Here is a link to the world if anybody needs it

This may be occurring because your code is stuck inside the while loop.

while true do

This statement will run forever, because you are evaluating if true == true, which will always return true.

Do this:

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local char = script.Parent
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character
local Colider = char.Collider
local TouchingWall = false
local NotOnGround = true
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
slide = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
Dismount = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
WallSlide = false

--stuff

local part = char.Collider

local function onTouched(otherPart)
	--print(part.Name .. " collided with " .. otherPart.Name)
	if otherPart.Name == "Wall" then
		TouchingWall = true
		--print("Touching wall")
	else
		TouchingWall = false
		--print("NOT Touching Wall")
	end
end

part.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
task.spawn(function()
	while true do
		if Humanoid.FloorMaterial == Enum.Material.Air then
			--print("NOT on ground")
			NotOnGround = true
	
		else
			--print("on ground")
			NotOnGround = false
		end
		wait()
	
		if NotOnGround and TouchingWall == true then
			WallSlide = true
		else
			
			WallSlide = false
			
		end
	end
end)

the problem wasn’t actually in end) it was that you needed to use task.spawn() to run the while loop on a separate thread so it doesn’t yield the code after it.

But, glad I could help!
