Why isn't this rain script working properly?

Yeah, it didn’t work. The problem has to be with the if statement. It prints out the print statement.

#24

Try changing the wait() to something like wait(1)

That didn’t work either. The print statement also didn’t get printed.

#26

What gets printed? @Politeawar

#27

Did you check the output? Also consider indenting the code and properly formatting it.

#28

The print at the very bottom.

print("The Loop is finished!")
#29

What did you get in output.

#30 
local Iter = 0

while true do
	Iter = Iter + 1
	if Iter >= 50 then break end
	local Rain = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,2,0.5)
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(0,15,0)
	Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Transparency = 0.5
	wait(0.1)
end
print("Done")

This seems to work. “Done” is printed when it reaches 50. I just realized that making it >= 50 is not necessary since it will stop as soon as it hits 50.

You can change that to

if Iter == 50 then break end
#31

It’s the same exact print. But, the thing is, that the while loop for some reason doesn’t break. Like, the rain keeps falling.

#32

Seems like this is the solution :slight_smile:

#33

This didn’t work. The print also didn’t print out in the output.

#34

Are you sure this is a script and not localscript?

#35

I changed my script to look like your’s.

#36 
local rainspawned = 0

while rainspawned >= 50 do
	rainspawned = rainspawned + 1
	wait()
	local Rain = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,2,0.5)
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(0,15,0)
	Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Transparency = 0.5 
end

print("The Loop is finished!")

Is the code you provided the whole script? Also are you waiting for it to finish completely? It takes a while for it to stop.

Edit:
You can add a print(Iter) to see if it really doesn’t stop

local Iter = 0

while true do
    print(Iter)
	Iter = Iter + 1
	if Iter >= 50 then break end
	local Rain = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,2,0.5)
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(0,15,0)
	Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Transparency = 0.5
	wait(0.1)
end
print("Done")
#38

Yes. The script is implemented into the workspace.

#39

oh and instead of > do < (30 char)

#40

Try @nuttela_for1me’s solution, I’m a bit confused.

#41

Yes, it’s the same script, and also yes, I am trying to make it stop completely.

#42 
local rainspawned = 0

while rainspawned <= 50 do
	rainspawned = rainspawned + 1
	wait()
	local Rain = Instance.new("Part",game.Workspace)
	Rain.Size = Vector3.new(0.5,2,0.5)
	Rain.Position = Vector3.new(0,15,0)
	Rain.Anchored = false
	Rain.Transparency = 0.5 
end

print("The Loop is finished!")
