How can I make a function work only once or just destroy itself?
So I have this script that moves sample model, but the thing is whenever I create another sample model, the previous one is still attached to the function so it looks like previous model is same as new model (I hope you understand)
01 | events.SampleEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(sampleModel) |
02 | game.Workspace.OnPlacementEvent.Value = true |
03 |
04 | for _, unit in pairs(game.Workspace.MainZone:GetChildren()) do |
05 | unit.Main.SurfaceGui.TextButton.Visible = true |
06 |
07 | unit.Main.SurfaceGui.TextButton.MouseEnter:Connect(function() |
08 |
09 | sampleModel:PivotTo(CFrame.new(unit.Main.Position.X, unit.Main.Position.Y+1, unit.Main.Position.Z)) |
10 |
11 | for _, part in pairs(sampleModel:GetChildren()) do |
12 | part.Transparency = 0.5 |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 | end |
16 | end) |

You can use RBXScriptConnection:Disconnect() and connect it again.
01 | local connections = {} |
02 | events.SampleEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(sampleModel) |
03 | workspace:WaitForChild("OnPlacementEvent").Value = true |
04 |
05 | for , unit in ipairs(workspace:WaitForChild("MainZone"):GetChildren()) do |
06 | unit.Main.SurfaceGui.TextButton.Visible = true |
07 |
08 | local connection = connections[unit.Name] |
09 | if connection ~= nil then -- if MouseEnter is still connected |
10 | connection:Disconnect() |
11 | connections[unit.Name] = nil -- removes connection from the dictionary |
12 | connection = nil |
13 | end |
14 |
15 | -- creates a new connection/connects it again |
