Is there a better way to end a script without destroying it?
Code that I need help with:
script:Clone().Parent = script.Parent wait() script:Destroy()
Full code:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
wait(50)
local teams = game:GetService("Teams"):GetTeams()
local teamended
local OutOfRound = {}
local teamio
plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
wait()
table.insert(OutOfRound, plr.Name)
local function dothedo()
for _, team in pairs(teams) do
local players = team:GetChildren()
for i = 0, #players do
if players[i] ~= OutOfRound[i] then
else
teamio = false
print(teamio)
end
end
if teamio == false and team.Name == "Killer Bass" then
teamended = "KB"
elseif teamio == false and team.Name == "Screaming Gophers" then
teamended = "SG"
else
wait(1)
print(teamio)
end
end
end
dothedo()
while 1>0 do
wait(2)
if teamended == "SG" then
wait()
game.ReplicatedStorage.SGLost:FireAllClients()
print(1)
elseif teamended == "KB" then
wait()
game.ReplicatedStorage.KBLost:FireAllClients()
print(1)
else
print(1)
end
if teamended ~= "" or nil then
dothedo()
else
script:Clone().Parent = script.Parent
wait()
script:Destroy()
end
end
end)
end)
Is there a better way? I know disabling it is just downright stupid.
For context while 1>0 do is the same as while true do, and my code works.

If you want to you can disable it then re-enable it to restart it.instead of cloning it and removing the original
script.Disabled = true script.Disabled = false --This restarts the script
This might have not answered your question but still a solution

Hm, it's quite strange what you are doing. I wouldn't recommend cloning and destroying scripts as things can get confusing and connections can be spammed (overall slowing your game down). If you give me more details, I could suggest a more efficient approach.
break
I believe you are looking for break, which is a way to exit a loop. You can also put it in your while (condition) do for it to break, but it looks like you are doing calculations after (in which you can use repeat until.
while true do
if (teamended == "SG") then
end
if (teamended ~= "") then
else
break --this will basically end the loop
end
end
:Disconnect()
Connections can still be intact after a script is destroyed (please correct me if I'm wrong). If your intention is to destroy a script, you want to disconnect events before destroying them.
Connection = Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
Connection:Disconnect()
-- by disconnecting, we no longer listen for players who join
-- this will stop "new" code from running
-- as well as prevent connection spams
script:Destroy()
end)

Instead of script:Destroy(), do script.Disabled = true. This will disable the script so it will no longer activate. To enable it again, type: script.Disabled = false. The script will now be enabled. Hope this helps <3
