I have three local functions that I want to use forever in memory:
proxy:PlayerParamRecover();
proxy:PlayerRecover();
proxy:EnableInvincible(10000,true);
I'm not sure how to add them in an infinite loop.

You want a while loop:
while true do
proxy:PlayerParamRecover()
proxy:PlayerRecover()
proxy:EnableInvincible(10000,true)
end
Additional information here
Note that, since the while loop will always have control of the program after entering that loop, any code you write after it won't ever execute. Infinite loops are only useful in extreme cases - make sure that what you want to do warrants it.

One thing: you cannot write the colon after "do", that's what you would do in Python, but not in Lua
Jonathan Swinney
Also, no semicolons required in Lua even when you have multiple statements on the same line.
There are two ways to use infinite loop:
repeat
-- do something
until false
-- or --
while true do
-- do something
end

If you wanted to say "Hello" in the command bar every second, infinitely, or something like that, you would use the format below:
while true do
-- whatever
end
For example,
while true do
print("Hello")
wait(1)
end

while this is factually accurate, the above code will block the thread, and is unlikely the right solution to the person's problem
Trivial loop function:
function loop()
-- your code here
while true do
-- your loop code there
end
end
More not trivial loop:
function loop ()
-- your loop code there
return loop()
end
