Corrections:
7:11 If you add a number after the name of the object when using :WaitForChild() to define the "Timeout" / how long the script should wait until it stops looking for that object, the code below it actually WILL CONTINUE to run, but if you then mention the object it was looking for but never found, the script will error. Sorry that I didn't explain this correctly / clearly at the time! (Correction added on October 24th, 2023)
