CFrame Bullet Will Not Fire

Recently, I have been experimenting in the Roblox version of Lua in the studio. I tried to hook up a moving projectile to a GUI button. Here is the code:

local cannonp1 = workspace.CannonP1
local loopingvar = 0

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(fire)

function fire()
    repeat until loopingvar == 100
        workspace.ProjectileP1.CFrame = workspace.ProjectileP1.CFrame * CFrame.new(1, 0, 0)
        loopingvar = loopingvar + 1
        wait(0.1)
    end
end

I am very new to Roblox Studio, so all I can say is that When I press the button, not a single thing happens to my projectile. And the projectile is anchored, if you were wondering. I know that good questions should be elaborate, but there is no other information that i can find that would effect the movement of the projectile other than my extremely poor scripting. I have also checked on the Roblox developer forums, but most of the posts about CFrame there are outdated and do not work in the new version of Roblox Studio. I have checked about every website possible, but to no avail. Any advice would be amazing.

You're not using repeat until correctly. The first line is supposed to be repeat and the last line is supposed to be until loopingvar == 100. There's not supposed to be an end at all. Currently, there's a syntax error in your code due to the extra end, and even without that, you'd have an infinite loop, since it's basically repeat --[[do nothing]] until loopingvar == 100.

However, you can do even one step better than this, by using a numeric for loop. Instead of the above changes, get rid of local loopingvar = 0 and loopingvar = loopingvar + 1, and replace repeat until loopingvar == 100 with for loopingvar = 0,100 do.
