How can I run a coroutine over and over? [HELP WITH DEAD COROUTINES]

Hi I'm trying to create a simple camera "tween" and after that tween the camera will stay fixed until the dialog ends Video

The issue that I have is that when I first call my coroutine to resume it will run as expected but after calling it again the status will return dead.

here is the code

local CanLoopCam = false

local TweenCam = coroutine.create(function()
    CanLoopCam = false
    if not CanLoopCam then
        for i = 0,0.5,.01 do
            Camara.CFrame = Camara.CFrame:Lerp(PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame, i)
            task.wait()
        end
        CanLoopCam = true
        while CanLoopCam do
            task.wait()
            Camara.CFrame = PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame
        end
    end
end)

function CANTtalk()
    CanLoopCam = false
    canTalk = true
    Camara.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    MainFrame.Dialogo.Text = " "
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end

function CANtalk()
    print(coroutine.status(TweenCam))
    canTalk = false
    Camara.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    MainFrame.Titulo.Text = npc.Name
    coroutine.resume(TweenCam)
end

I tried yielding but it stops everything. Video

function CANTtalk()
    CanLoopCam = false
    canTalk = true
    Camara.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    MainFrame.Dialogo.Text = " "
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
    coroutine.yield(TweenCam)
end

Help is appreciated, I tried a lot of stuff but I'm still learning how to script

Have you tried Rerunning it? it seems it only runs once and afterwards it seems it will not rerun because it has already finished. gumpy_e 22 — 2y

Kind of a hacky solution but it works. when you call CANTtalk() it closes the current TweenCam and when you call CANtalk() it remakes TweenCam and resumes it. Doesnt return dead anymore since its an entirely new TweenCam

local CanLoopCam = false

local TweenCam = coroutine.create(function()
    CanLoopCam = false
    if not CanLoopCam then
        for i = 0,0.5,.01 do
            Camara.CFrame = Camara.CFrame:Lerp(PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame, i)
            task.wait()
        end
        CanLoopCam = true
        while CanLoopCam do
            task.wait()
            Camara.CFrame = PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame
        end
    end
end)

function CANTtalk()
    coroutine.close(TweenCam)
    CanLoopCam = false
    canTalk = true
    Camara.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    MainFrame.Dialogo.Text = " "
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 20
end

function CANtalk()
    canTalk = false
    Camara.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    MainFrame.Titulo.Text = npc.Name
    coroutine.resume(TweenCam)
    TweenCam = coroutine.create(function()
        CanLoopCam = false
        if not CanLoopCam then
            for i = 0,0.5,.01 do
                Camara.CFrame = Camara.CFrame:Lerp(PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame, i)
                task.wait()
            end
            CanLoopCam = true
            while CanLoopCam do
                task.wait()
                Camara.CFrame = PP.Parent.Parent.o.CFrame
            end
        end
    end)
    print(coroutine.status(TweenCam))
end

Amazing! Thank you so much for this C1RAXY 81 — 2y
