You can use coroutines to start and end loops. Note: This is just an example, don't copy this directly to your code.

local debounce = false
local Button = script.Parent

local loop = coroutine.create(function(message) -- creates the loop
	while true do
		print(message)
		task.wait()
	end
end)

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() -- when the button is clicked
	if debounce == false then
		debounce = true
		coroutine.resume(loop, "hi") -- starts the loop; will print "hi" multiple times
	else
		debounce = false
		coroutine.close(loop) -- ends/breaks the loop, making it unresumable again unless redefined
		
		loop = coroutine.create(function(message) -- redefines; creates the loop again
			while true do
				print(message)
				task.wait()
			end
		end)
	end
end)
