How to make it where you can cancel player attacks

#1

Hello,
I am am trying to make a combat thing and noticed that when a player attacks another player when they are both doing moves that both will land even if one hits the other before. I want to make it where if both do attacks and one hits the other before, then the first person hit would have their move cancelled.

Notes
I know how to detect this, I could just detect when a character’s health changes. I also know how I would stop the attack animation. How would I stop the code running the attack though?

A return statement in the function whenever that specific condition is met.

I tried this but it didn’t work.

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	local function ok()
		char.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Health"):Connect(function()
			print("return")
			return
		end)
		local i = 0
		while true do
			i += 1
			print(i)
			wait(0.05)
		end
	end
	ok()
end)

The loop still goes, how would I make where the return stops the function?
