I want to know how to stop a

Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
print(Mouse.Hit)
end)

After I press a certain button it starts but I don’t know how to stop it.

I looked around for a while but cannot find any source that tells me how to stop it. Can anyone help please?

You can save the function as a variable, “MouseMoveFunction” for example, then do MouseMoveFunction:Disconnect() when you’re done with it

Like this?

local MoveMouseFunction = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
	torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(torso.Position, Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.p.X, 0, Mouse.Hit.p.Z))
	print(Mouse.Hit)
    end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then 
		return
	end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G  then
			Hold = true
			
			if KeyDown()then
				MoveMouseFunction:Connect()
			end
		end
	end

end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then
		return
	end

if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G then
			Hold = false
			
			Mouse.Move:Disconnect()
			
			
		end
	end
end)

try something like this:

local connection

connection = randomEvent:Connect(function()

print("random event fired")

connection:Disconnect()

end)

faunx meant it like this:

local Variable = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
print(Mouse.Hit)
end)

Variable:Disconnect()

Just set it equal to a variable

local MoveConnection

MoveConnection = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()

end)

MoveConnection:Disconnect() --completely stops the functions from running

Where it says “MoveMouseFunction:Connect()”, it still needs a function argument, like Connect normally would.
So it’d be

MoveMouseFunction = mouse.Move:Connect(function()
    torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(torso.Position, Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.p.X, 0, Mouse.Hit.p.Z))
	print(Mouse.Hit)
end)

So how would I end it in an if statement? because mine doesn’t seem to work when I do that.

Connecting to RBXScriptSignals/events such as workspace.ChildAdded, where you run a function each time the signal is fired, will return an RBXScriptConnection object. You can get a reference to the connection by setting it as a variable like so:

local function OnChildAdded(Instance)
    print(Instance.Name)
end

local RBXScriptConnection = workspace.ChildAdded:Connect(OnChildAdded)

If you no longer want to print out the instance’s name whenever a child is added to Workspace, then you can simply disconnect it.

RBXScriptConnection:Disconnect()

This will break the connection to the signal, so it won’t run the function anymore.
You can make sure it’s not connected with RBXScriptConnection.Connected.

Is there any chance you’re trying to disconnect the connection from inside of the binded function?
If so, you will need to make sure that you set a reference to it before the line the signal is on.

Why? Think of it like a variable. You cannot access var n to add 1+1, because it can’t assign what isn’t complete. If it did, it would probably cause infinite recursion.

Try this:

local mouseConn; mouseConn = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
print(Mouse.Hit)
end)
-- Done with it
mouseConn:Disconnect()

You could have a variadle declared outside the function that changes after the function runs. And make it so the code inside the function only runs if the variable is true.

I realized my mistake. At first I made an if statement for when the user presses G instead of holding it.

First code:

if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		local MouseMoveFunction
		
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G then
			
		if KeyDown()then
		Hold = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.FireFist:FireServer()
				MouseMoveFunction = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
					torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(torso.Position, Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.p.X, 0, Mouse.Hit.p.Z))
			print(Mouse.Hit)
					if not KeyDown()then
						MouseMoveFunction:Disconnect()
					end

				end)
				
			end	
		end
	end

New code:

local MouseMoveFunction
			
		if KeyDown()then
		Hold = true
		game.ReplicatedStorage.FireFist:FireServer()
				MouseMoveFunction = Mouse.Move:Connect(function()
					torso.CFrame = CFrame.new(torso.Position, Vector3.new(Mouse.Hit.p.X, 0, Mouse.Hit.p.Z))
			print(Mouse.Hit)
					if not KeyDown()then
						MouseMoveFunction:Disconnect()
					end

				end)
				
			end

Thanks for the help everybody. Hope you guys are successful in y’all journey :+1:
