How do I break a sequence?
EDITED
Ok so lets say I have a sequence, like so:
local SequenceIsStopped = false
function Sequence()
--Do stuff
wait(1)
--Do stuff
wait(1)
end
And I wanted to stop the sequence mid-way, how would I go by doing so? The only other way that I know of is putting a conditional that breaks the sequence if SequenceIsStopped = true at the end of every single line. Is there a more effective way? Or is that the only way?
Note: This is what I was talking about when I said that the way I know of is using a conditional:
local SequenceIsStopped = false
function Sequence()
if SequenceIsStopped then break end
--Do stuff
if SequenceIsStopped then break end
wait(1)
if SequenceIsStopped then break end
--Do stuff
wait(1)
end
I know it's terribly inefficient

for i = 1, 5 do
print(i)
wait(1)
if Stop then
break
end
end
--The loop should stop if the variable Stop becomes true anywhere in the script.

That's a good idea, but not exactly what I was looking for. Read the edited version of the question TurboFusion 1821 — 10y

I'm not trying to get it to print something, like if i wanted it to tween a gui 5 times, but i wanted it to stop mid-way TurboFusion 1821 — 10y

How about this:
function CheckStopWork()
if Stop then
return break
end
end
for i = 1, 5 do
print(i)
wait(1)
CheckStopWork()
end
-- It should break the loop if "Stop" becomes true from somewhere else in the script.
I have no means of testing this, so I hope it works.

It errors because you can't return break Thewsomeguy 448 — 10y
