How would I stop this function when the "cB" is activated?

So I have some code, and it has a button know as “CB”.
Anyhow when this button is activated I need it to stop the purchasef Function.
How would I do this?

local function purchasef(item) -- when the CB is pressed, we need to stop this function! 
	-- item folder
	local ItemFolder = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):FindFirstChild('Characters'):FindFirstChild(item)
	
	-- folders item
	local price = ItemFolder.Price
	local owned = ItemFolder.Owned
	
	local purchaseFrame = frame.Purchase
	
	
	if owned.Value == 0 then -- not owned
		local p = false
		
		purchaseFrame.Visible = true
		
		local cB = purchaseFrame.cancel
		local pB = purchaseFrame.purchase
		
		local text = purchaseFrame.Text
		
		text.Text = 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE '..item..' FOR $'..price.Value
		
		pB.Activated:Connect(function()
			if p == false then
				print('Purchasing an item')
				
			end
		end)
		
		cB.Activated:Connect(function() -- this is the CB. I need to stop the function here
			p = true
			
		end)
		
		
		
	else -- owned
		
		
	end
end

			p = true
            return

end

A return statement terminates the function from running, so you could just do that

It stops the whole function including the purchaseF function?

#4

no it would not stop the function

I’m not 100% certain what your goal is, but if what i’m thinking is right, then what you would do would be something like this:

local function purchasef(item) -- when the CB is pressed, we need to stop this function! 
	-- item folder
	local ItemFolder = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):FindFirstChild('Characters'):FindFirstChild(item)
	
	-- folders item
	local price = ItemFolder.Price
	local owned = ItemFolder.Owned
	
	local purchaseFrame = frame.Purchase
	
	
	if owned.Value == 0 then -- not owned
		local p = false
		
		purchaseFrame.Visible = true
		
		local cB = purchaseFrame.cancel
		local pB = purchaseFrame.purchase
		
		local text = purchaseFrame.Text
		
		text.Text = 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO PURCHASE '..item..' FOR $'..price.Value
		
        local Connection

		Connection = pB.Activated:Connect(function()
			if p == false then
				print('Purchasing an item')
				
			end
		end)
		
		cB.Activated:Connect(function() -- this is the CB. I need to stop the function here
			p = true
            Connection:Disconnect()
			-- Add code to undo/update the frames
		end)
		
		
		
	else -- owned
		
		
	end
end

If this isn’t what you’re looking for can you tell what you are trying to achieve by stopping the function, because there is probably an alternative.
