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 **
**, 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.
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. ;)
