Is there any easier way to execute this?

I have a script for an AI, and whenever it’s jumpscaring I instantly stop it from patroling, break the task.wait() loop and spawn in a new AI script. Is there an easier way of doing this, preferably without making a new script?

Main ServerScript in AI model

while task.wait() do
	if AI.Jumpscaring.Value == false then
		patrol()
	else
		warn("Jumpscaring")
		break
	end
end

Kill ServerScript in AI model

AI.Main:Destroy()

local ClonedAI = script.Main:Clone()
ClonedAI.Parent = AI
ClonedAI.Enabled = true

You can use coroutines to stop and start infinite loops all in one script

Ah gotcha, would it be possible for some sample code? Or are there any good sources for coroutines as I never really worked with them before. But regardless, thank you for the idea!

Thanks a lot! Will definitely try it out.

You can use coroutines for this but task.spawn is better for this since you don’t need the overhead of coroutines.

Code:

task.spawn(function()
	while task.wait() do
		if AI.Jumpscaring.Value == false then
			patrol()
		else
			warn("Jumpscaring")
			break
		end
	end
end)
