How to stop a function while its running?
How to stop a function while its running?? I'm looking how to stop it from outside the function. Using return or break will stop from within the function, which is not what I'm really looking for.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance!!

Works, but makes an error. I would like a more efficient approach to this. Shounak123 461 — 2y

What you can probably do if its a while true loop or some other loop is check if a value you defined earlier is false or true
For example:
local Check = false
coroutine.wrap(function()
while Check == false do
print("Running")
wait(0.1)
end
end)()
wait(5)
Check = true -- This will make the function stop running
You could also use the same logic for a function you have defined:
local Check = false
function GoodFunction()
coroutine.wrap(function()
if Check == false then
repeat
print("Good")
wait(0.1)
until Check == true
end
end)()
end
GoodFunction()
wait(5)
Check = true
Let me know if you have any issues!
