Anyway to make the cancel function cancel the activate function? i want to make like a continue check to see if the player is stunned if there are stunned then stop the function.

you can put the activate function in a thread and then close the thread to cancel it

local activationThread = task.spawn(function()
  activate()
end)

local function cancel()
  coroutine.close(activationThread)
end
