Is it possible to remove/discontinue spawn() functions?

[ApeRuss]

Alright so straight to the point,

When you add in a “spawn(function()” code, it basically spawns in the functions but is there a way removing or discontinuing them? it’s not a loop so “break” wouldn’t work either way.

If there’s no other possible way then I believe I will have to use in-script boolean variables, but that could also wreck over the script since it spawns in a function, maybe I’m overthinking I’ll just see what happens if I find no solution for this problem.

This can probably solve your problem:

Cancelling a Function/Event

If it’s something like an infinite loop within the function, disconnecting the listener will cause it to stop listening for the event - but the loop will keep running, so in that case you could: every iteration check for some sort of variable at the beginning of the block, and only run the code if the variable’s value is true, so you could set the value to false after disconnecting.

Can I pause a coroutine from outside of it?

Externally suspend the execution of a coroutine? local active = true local thread = coroutine.create(function() local o, i = os.clock(), 0 while true do --//code, builtin loop wait(1) -- reliability depends on the amount of time you yield for i += 1 print(i) if not active then coroutine.yield() end end end) coroutine.resume(thread) -- initiate wait(3) -- stops counting after about 3 seconds active = false --[[ wait(3) -- "revive" it lik…

just use coroutines instead of spawn, they are the better choice for the reason that when using spawn you’ll need to wait for an open slot in the scheduler due to the built-in wait()

I have never used coroutines, I might aswell learn about it.

From what I understand, coroutine is in easy words advanced version of spawn() because you can play, pause etc etc, thank you for your help.
