Cancelling / Closing a thread inside the thread

[DFROBUXX]

I need to have a spawn function or a coroutine wrap in my script, for performance i want to close the threads. The problem is: when I try to close / cancel the thread i made from inside of the thread (the spawned function or coroutine wrap function) it errors and doesn’t cancel it.

Here is the way i am cancelling the thread:

local thread = nil

thread = coroutine.wrap(function()

	print("Hello World!")

	coroutine.close(thread)

end)()	

I also tried this with task.spawn and task.cancel yet it also gave me an error.

Any help will be appreciated!

Why do you need to close the thread manually? It closes by itself after completing

Should’ve checked that! Thank you for answering.

By the way I’d probably use the task library unless you have a specific use for coroutines. They’re quite different but if task.cancel and task.spawn work well together. Have a nice day

I knew about those, i was just wondering (in this example) how you could close the task (task.cancel) within the function of task.spawn.

Though it won’t be necessary as a thread closes when it has completed.
Thank you for the comment on it though!
