Adding Continue Buttons to Delete Function

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a Delete Button that when pressed invokes a Script to delete a Pet, which works fine, however the users accidentally hit ‘x’ thinking it does something else. So now I need to add a confirmation prompt using some ‘Yes’ & ‘No’ buttons.

But the problem is I’m not sure how to break out of current function from another button script if the user chooses not to proceed. I guess I want to ‘break’ out of this function so the script doesn’t continue to execute.
(Obviously, I’m gonna invoke the buttons from this script, but do i need to create a remote function or something then validate the returned result?)

Anyway what is the best way to do this?

local deb = false
script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
	if deb == false then
	deb = true
	

-- Confirm Before Delete Here


	if player:FindFirstChild("PetsEquiped") and player:FindFirstChild("Pets") and player.Pets:FindFirstChild(tostring(script.Parent.Parent)) and player.Pets[tostring(script.Parent.Parent)].Value >= 1 and script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("UNE") and script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.UNE:FindFirstChild("Scroll") then
		if player.PetsEquiped:FindFirstChild(tostring(script.Parent.Parent)) then		
			
			player.PetsEquiped[tostring(script.Parent.Parent)]:Destroy()
		end		
		
		player:WaitForChild("Pets")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent)].Value = player:WaitForChild("Pets")[tostring(script.Parent.Parent)].Value - 1 		
	end
	wait(0.5)
	deb = false
	end
end)

Thanks.

Personally, I’d use a BoolValue and set it’s Value true/false depending on if they choose to proceed.
Then in the other Button Script, if this Value is false then simply return.

Ok, that totally makes sense. So I’m guessing I’d just save the BoolValue under the Local Player?

Or in the script itself.

I would move the code for deleting the pet inside the script that controls the confirmation dialog.

Anywhere it’d make the job easier for you, LocalPlayer would be my choice.
