So I tried using :Disconnect() but they arent connections so they dont work and I've tried using other things like task.cancel() and some others but they dont work cuz functions are not threads. I just cant do it anymore im losing hope
#How to cancel functions

So I tried using :Disconnect() but they arent connections so they dont work and ...
break or return
olive iris
I want to cancel it using another function
Show code example
hybrid bluff
kk
WaitConnection = function(TimeInterval)
table.insert(Connections,WaitConnection)
task.wait(TimeInterval)
end
So this is the function
and basically whenever I use a wait function
I use that instead
But when a value changes I want to disable all the functions
cancel*
rare vessel
return
rare vessel
break or return
break is for loops, not functions
olive iris
break is for loops, not functions
Maybe he used a loop?
rare vessel
```lua
WaitConnection = function(TimeInterval)
table.insert(Connections,Wait...
dosent look like it here tho
hybrid bluff
I didnt
rare vessel
like in a function, when you call return it just stops
rare vessel
Can I use return outside a function using another function
it has to be in a function
hybrid bluff
But im using a for loop to cancel all the functions
rare vessel
as long as it is in a function it will work
rare vessel
But im using a for loop to cancel all the functions
then I would instead make a variable
and in the functions detect when that variable is true
then break
hybrid bluff
Plant:GetAttributeChangedSignal("TimeInterval"):Connect(function()
for i,v in pairs(Connections) do
v:Disconnect() -- Doesnt work just ignore
table.remove(Connections,v)
end
end)
Isnt it supposed to be return
rare vessel
Isnt it supposed to be return
yeah ur right
hybrid bluff
How will I detect when the variable changes though?
Its not a loop
and it fires only once
and the code inside it is only a task.wait()
rare vessel
why would you return then?
hybrid bluff
To cancel the function?
rare vessel
I mean you can just not preform the stuff in the function after the timer if the variable is tru
you can also use task.spawn(function)
olive iris
Why would you even need to cancel a function though
rare vessel
to prevent the timer from affecting other things
rare vessel
Why would you even need to cancel a function though
to prevent other things from running that you dont want
like if I wanted to make a function that scales everyones head. If I only wanted a few or wanna stop it somehow midway I would use return
btw return dosent work in task.spawn
hybrid bluff
So uh
rare vessel
bc it returns to the spawned function and not the one you want
hybrid bluff
Im cancelling the task.wait() because the wait time that the task.wait() is waiting is changed
Is that confusing
rare vessel
Im cancelling the task.wait() because the wait time that the task.wait() is wait...
like you change the time while its waiting?
rare vessel
that wouldnt work
