How to break out of while true loop when getting a remote function fire?
EDIT : Some of my scripts have worked on this, but they were too laggy (0.1 fps) Okay, i was making a game where there's a timer and leaderboard , with a start / end point This is my local script, parent of the timer gui
--a = 0
local RS = game:GetService('RunService')
--RS:BindToRenderStep('',1,function()
--a = a + 1
--b = a / 60
--script.Parent.Text = b
--end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(a)
local starttime = workspace.DistributedGameTime
while true do
wait()
local time = workspace.DistributedGameTime - starttime
script.Parent.Text = time
end
local seconds = script.Parent.Parent.Time
script.Parent.Text = seconds.Value
game.ReplicatedStorage.End.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(a)
local starttime = workspace.DistributedGameTime
tim = time
game.ReplicatedStorage.Submit:FireServer(plr, starttime, workspace.DistributedGameTime, tim)
end
)end)
This is my start brick script, parented to a part
function deathTouch(part) game:GetService("Players") local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.TextLabel.Text = "0" wait(0.1) plr.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0,0,0)) wait(0.1) plr.Character:MoveTo(Vector3.new(0,0,0)) wait (0.8) game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireClient(plr) plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 end script.Parent.Touched:connect(deathTouch)
This is my end part, when you touch it the timer ends
function deathTouch(part) game:GetService("Players") local plr = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(part.Parent) game.ReplicatedStorage.End:FireClient(plr) end script.Parent.Touched:connect(deathTouch)
This is my script in server script service
game.ReplicatedStorage.Submit.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, submittime, endtime, tim)
print(plr .. submittime .. endtime .. tim)
end)
Remote Events Used : Submit, RemoteEvent, End
Main problem So the problem is the starting brick works, but when I touch the end brick the timer is still stuck in the timer while loop state, i've tried many solutions, any help? (dont ask whats the error there is none) Other problems The timer is slightly inaccurate, i've tried using run service but I am a noob at that and didn't use it Why was this created? A map with a leaderboard and players with the fastest times will be put on leaderboard

Very simple. use a break and a boolean value
SERVER SIDE
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local BreakLoop = false
spawn(function() -- I put a spawn here so that I can continue with code below the while loop its basically a coroutine, but it stays updated. Allows code to jump over a loop while the loop can continue running.
while true do
if BreakLoop == true then
break
end
print'In loop'
wait(.5)
end
print'Loop broken'
end)
print'I can run because of the spawn()'
Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, ...)
print'Event fired'
BreakLoop = true
end)
CLIENT SIDE
wait(4)
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
Event:FireServer()
You should get something like this...
In loop I can run because of the spawn() In loop In loop In loop In loop In loop In loop In loop Event fired Loop broken

Create a variable which turns to true when whatever is clicked, and make the while true do instead reference if the variable is false instead of looking for true.
