Is there a way to cancel a function while it is running?
So I want to cancel this function so when all the players die but how can I cancel a function tho?
001 | function StartGame() |
002 | ChooseGame() |
003 | print(rm) |
004 | game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayersAlive.Value = game.ReplicatedStorage.NumPlayers.Value |
005 | for i,v in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do |
006 | v.Backpack.inGame.Value = "Game" |
007 | end |
008 | game.ReplicatedStorage.GameStatus.Value = "Game" |
009 | if rm == 1 then |
010 | game.ReplicatedStorage.GameStatus.Value = "Game" |
011 | local WaterRunMap = game.ServerStorage.WaterRun:Clone() |
012 | WaterRunMap.Parent = game.Workspace |
013 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").GameTime60:Fire() |
014 | game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").WaterRun:FireAllClients() |
015 | wait(2.5) |

I want to cancel this function

Use the keyword 'return' to prematurely end a function, or return a value from it, or both User#24403 69 — 6y

I don't know if i'm right or not, but try using the "Break" function. B_rnz 171 — 6y

break is used for loops, return is used to end a function. AbstractionsReality 98 — 6y

I believe you call 'return'. This would make the function return a value of 'nil', which would cancel your function as a side effect.

how would I do that cause I am trying to cancel it via another function? Vain_p 78 — 6y

While I don't really know exactly how to do that, I think the answer is in coroutines. You start the function you want to be cancelable via coroutine, and then when you want to cancel it, the other function can call some coroutine function to stop the coroutine. DoubleDual36 18 — 6y

so I use local StartGame = coroutine.create (function() and put the function inside of it? Vain_p 78 — 6y
