the title may be a bit confusing, but what i am trying to say is that i have a function, lets call it function1, and inside function1 there is an another function, lets call it function2. what i want to achieve is to stop function1 with function2. how would i do that?
You could do something like this
local function1 = function()
print'start of function1'
local function2 = function()
print'function2'
return false
end
local result = function2()
if result == false then
return print'stopped function'
end
print'end of function1'
end
function1()

ah, i think thats the solution… mostly it is
thanks that would probably work, but is there any way i could do that with userinputservice.InputBegan:Connect(function(), since return doesnt work on that
You could disconnect the InputBegan connection (not sure if that’s what you want)
this is what my script looks like:
module.function = function()
--some script
userinputservice.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
--some code
this is where i want the entire function to stop
end
end)
end
Can you explain why you want to stop the function? The whole module.function function would run before you would be able to stop it with UserInput
its a placement system and i want “X” to be the cancel key. here is the entire script
basically im getting lots of errors when i press x because the function is still running so i have to stop it

You can do this by having a run stepped event for that function then check for a certain bool value and if its true then you can return or break it or disconnect that event.Use the desired key to obviously changed the bool value to true
You could do
local RenderStepped = RS.RenderStepped:connect(function()
local InputBegan
InputBegan = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
and then when X is pressed you would just do
RenderStepped:Disconnect()
InputBegan:Disconnect()
(Also you don’t need a wait() inside of RenderStepped, and connect is deprecated in favor of Connect)
oh ok ill try that i guess and let you know if it worked
you mean like
RunService.RenderStepped:Disconnect()
?
Its the same thing you are just indexing it for the other function to access it
local RenderStepped = RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
returns the connection that you just connected, so “RenderStepped” would be the connection
So to disconnect the connection you do
RenderStepped:Disconnect()
Just change the line where it says
RS.RenderStepped:connect(function()
with
local RenderStepped = RS.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
and the same with InputBegan

yeah thats working. sorry for the late answer
