Why does this coroutine in the function not stop when I use return in the function?
So I am making a script, and I was testing if something I needed in my script works. So here is what I did to test.
function f()
local c = coroutine.wrap(function()
while wait(1) do
print('yay')
end
end)
c()
wait(5)
return
end
f()
It prints "yay" more then 10 times. What would I do to yield a coroutine outside of the coroutine, and why does using return on the function the coroutine is on not stop the coroutine?

Why not remove the while loop?? saSlol2436 716 — 7y

It's an example for something else I will do. The wait(5) and return should still run, since while loop is in coroutine. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

local c = coroutine.wrap(function()
while wait(1) do
print('yay')
break
end
end)
local function f()
wait()
return c()
end
f()
Hopefully, this is an answer that should work (I'm not the best with coroutines.)

No. I want the user to be able to decide when the code stops without using break. hiimgoodpack 2009 — 7y

The reason you can make it stop is to make it a for anystringhere = 1,40 do -- code here end
like this for example
stop = true
function f()
local c = coroutine.wrap(function()
if stop == true then
for n = 1,40 do
wait()
print('yay')
end
stop = false
end
end)
c()
wait(5)
return
end
f()

No, the question is that why does it not stop the coroutine? Anyways, I think I sorta understand why it does that. (Also, why are you answering an old question?) hiimgoodpack 2009 — 6y
