in Script Editor, click in right position of number line.You can see a red breakpoint. click again to delete it.
When the code runs out of the previous part, the game will pause, 3 windows will open and tell you a lot of things.I have never used them up myself.But just press F5 to get to the next breakpoint, F10 to go to the next line of code.

you can show us what the output prints. I am interested in knowing if it prints warn and how many times

i just fixed it by using repeat - until

It’s because you didnt check if self.Number == 1 in the workspace:GetChildren() loop. you only checked in the main while loop. If you need it to stop completely if its found, I suggest changing this from a while loop to a conditional function instead.
