im new with coroutine and i thought i would be fit for what im doing. i have a function that lowers a gauge progresively over time, but when the player dies the gauge should lowering and remain. For this i made a function to lower it, and call it when i need. when the player dies, the .Died Event is fired and the coroutine should close. At least that was my idea but the coroutine doesn't close i think the code i made is clearly not what should be done

local Deplete = nil

LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    local Deplete = nil --Reset the variable on death
end)

--The function to lower the gauge
function DepleteGauge(Rate)
    local Gauge = LocalPlayer.UltGauge
    Gauge.Value = 99
    for i = 0,98 do
        task.wait(0.5)
        Gauge.Value = Gauge.Value - Rate
    end
end

function ArchAngel()
--code [...]
Deplete = coroutine.create(DepleteGauge(1))
end

--Test if the gauge is depleting, if yes stop it
LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    if Deplete ~= nil then
        coroutine.close(Deplete)
    end
end)```

Coroutines dont work in parrallel

#

You should create a variable to see of a player is dead

#

And check of the variable is true in the loop

wouldn't that slow the ticking down?

Then use the event to set it to true

alr ill try it

Its microscopic change

#

Make sure to set it to false in character added

torpid gulch
#

yeap

bronze lake
#

Uhh

#

You also have to start the coroutine

#

coroutine.resume

coroutine is not usefull if i use a condition i can just call the function normally no?

bronze lake
#

Yes

torpid gulch
#

Unless your planning to run multiple function concurrently
