Scripts not working (might be a skill issue)

[Anger-mp3]

For some reason my script just don't work. I'm currently using v2.6.2 (633da3830). So, I was trying to set up a (very) simple hacking algorithm to hack n00dles. Using the code below While (true) { await ns.hack('n00dles') } And then after I finish the code, no red boxes on the left that tell me I have errors btw, I type into the terminal "run n00dles.js" because I just name my scripts on whoever I'm hacking, and then an error message pops up that states "ns is not defined". So I'm like "Isn't ns a thing that's supposed to be there?" and that's why I'm here now. Help? (Using steam to run bitburner so save files aren't an issue I believe because steam has cloud save)

You will have to provide a save file for this kind of issue. It's very likely that the issue is in your code. Generally, you will receive the best support if you join Discord and ask there for issues in your scripts.

This is my guess for your case:

• Your main function is wrong.
• It's while, not While.

The basic script should look like this:

/** @param {NS} ns */
export async function main(ns) {
  while (true) {
    await ns.hack('n00dles');
  }
}

Really shows that I literally know nothing about coding, I just copy what it tells me to and replace the target if necessary
