Hi!
I wonder why this code doesn’t work!
I tried cloning a part from serverstorage into workspace if the part was nil.
My code did nothing…

while true do
	wait(0.01)
	if script.Parent ~= nil then
		wait(1)
		print("Everything is fine!")
	else
		game.ServerStorage.InfJumpOrb:Clone().Parent = workspace
		wait(1)
		script:Destroy()
	end
end

Can u plz help me? Thanks!

Well if the part’s parent is nil and it is the script’s parent I don’t think it will run. Because that means the script would be a descendant of nil. You need to have the script be somewhere else most likely.

Try putting this script in ServerScriptService

while true do
	wait(0.5) --This probably doesn’t have to loop as frequently. You could just check if it gets deleted instead using events.  Actually it’s not even needed since it’s guaranteed to wait in both branches. Or you could delete the waits in the branches and leave this one at 1 second. 
	if game.Workspace:FindFirstChild(“InfJumpOrb”) then
		wait(1)
		print("Everything is fine!")
	else
		game.ServerStorage.InfJumpOrb:Clone().Parent = workspace
		wait(1)
		script:Destroy()
	end
end
