How do I temporarily stop a script from running?
I am new to Roblox scripting, and I want to temporarily stop a script from running when I press a key.
Code:
uif = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uif.InputBegan:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = script.Parent.Humanoid
char.WalkSpeed = 21
end
end)
uif.InputEnded:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = script.Parent.Humanoid
char.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)
This script works as a shift run code, and I want to stop this code from running when I press the key, 'c'.
I tried this way from stopping it:
uif.InputEnded:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
Script.Disabled = true
end
end)
However, the problem is that when I don't press c, the script doesn't work and it stops functioning completely. I tried to put a 'Script.Disabled = false' at the beginning of script, but that doesn't work as well.
Can someone please tell me how I fix this problem so that when I press c, the shift run script doesn't function.
Thank you, this issue has been bugging me for quite a while.

You are not able to remotely break the script like what you want to do, however, you can achieve exactly what you said you want by simply nulling out what the other part of the script does in the cancelling part. Example:
uif = game:GetService("UserInputService");
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer;
local char = plr.Character; --redefining the character and player every function is very unnecessary. Furthermore, it's far safer to reference the character from the player than any other way.
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid");
local crouching = false;
uif.InputBegan:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and crouching == false then
hum.WalkSpeed = 21
end
end)
uif.InputEnded:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift and crouching == false then
hum.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)
uif.InputEnded:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
crouching = true;
hum.WalkSpeed = --wanted crouching speed
end--add another event for when they finish crouching to set crouching to false.
end)
This script will do exactly what you want. There is no need to try to remotely break the input events.

I spotted something wrong:
uif.InputEnded:connect(function(imput)
if imput.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
Script.Disabled = true -- I spotted that "Script" should have a lower case s: "script"
end
end)
This may just be a typo and not the problem but if this worked for you please accept this as your answer.
All the best,

Try replacing that script with this, also be sure to rename that script to "SprintingMechanism" or else it won't work.
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = script.Parent.Humanoid
char.Walkspeed = 21
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = script.Parent.Humanoid
char.Walkspeed = 16
end
end)
-- Edited Part
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local sprinttoggle = Instance.new("BoolValue", replicatedstorage)
sprinttoggle.Name = "sprinttoggle"
sprinttoggle.Value = true
uis.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
if sprinttoggle.Value == true then
sprinttoggle.Value = false
script.Disabled = true
end
end
end)
After that, insert a script into serverscriptservice named "SprintingServerFire". If you know what you are doing, you can adjust it accordinlgly and it should work.
