Remove Event Listener?
Is there any way to make an even "stop listening" when a certain condition is met?
Maybe some code would help:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if player.Name == "Roblox" then
--do something
-- Now we don't need to listen for this event anymore.
-- How do we remove the event listener?
end
end)

You used double **<pre class="brush: lua"> </pre> **, try to be carefull next time.
Okay so, the point here is that you can desactivate it in two ways.
Ill show first, wich is recommended: Shutdown event listener.
local PlayerJoinedEvent = game:service('Players').PlayerAdded -- to make an event controllable
PlayerJoinedEvent:connect(function(player) -- the event
if player.Name=="Roblox" then
--do something
end
end)
You would want to use: disconnect()
PlayerJoinedEvent:disconnect() -- turn event off
or the classic laggy way: Variable Statements
local IsOn = true -- boolean
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(player)
if isOn==true then -- if its on
if player.Name == "Roblox" then
--do something
end end
end)
IsOn = false -- shutting down
Hope this helps! If not, tell full output. ~marcoantoniosantos3

Using a variable as a debounce like that isn't laggy unless hundreds of functions each *second* are waiting like that. adark 5487 — 9y

Its 'laggy' in the meaning it will repeat and activate the event but doesn't run inside code of the if isOn==true then, if you understand me. ;) marcoantoniosantos3 200 — 9y
