Is there a better way to end a script without destroying it?
Code that I need help with:
1 | script:Clone().Parent = script.Parent |
2 | wait() |
3 | script:Destroy() |
Full code:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr) |
02 | wait(50) |
03 | local teams = game:GetService("Teams"):GetTeams() |
04 | local teamended |
05 | local OutOfRound = {} |
06 | local teamio |
07 | plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function() |
08 | wait() |
09 | table.insert(OutOfRound, plr.Name) |
10 | local function dothedo() |
11 | for _, team in pairs(teams) do |
12 | local players = team:GetChildren() |
13 | for i = 0, #players do |
14 | if players[i] ~= OutOfRound[i] then |
15 | else |
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
1 | script.Disabled = true |
2 | 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.
01 | while true do |
02 | if (teamended == "SG") then |
03 |
04 | end |
05 | if (teamended ~= "") then |
06 |
07 | else |
08 | break --this will basically end the loop |
09 | end |
10 | 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.
1 | Connection = Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player) |
2 | Connection:Disconnect() |
3 | -- by disconnecting, we no longer listen for players who join |
4 | -- this will stop "new" code from running |
5 | -- as well as prevent connection spams |
6 | script:Destroy() |
7 | 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
