Is there any way to put a continue inside an event

I’m a bit rusty with coding, so I’m posting here.
I want to continue my for loop when a bool value is set to true, but continue must be directly under the for loop.
I need it to still be in the event because I still need it to work when the other lines are running.

for i, v in pairs(pathpoints) do
	inunderground.Changed:Connect(function(bool)
		if bool == true then
			continue --Want to keep here
		end
	end)
	hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v) --Don't touch from this line
	hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	if (hrp.Position - v.Position).Magnitude > 1 then
		hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v)
		hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end --Until here
end

Is there any way to do this?

for i, v in pairs(pathpoints) do
	if inunderground.Value == true then
		continue
	end
	hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v) --Don't touch from this line
	hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	if (hrp.Position - v.Position).Magnitude > 1 then
		hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v)
		hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end --Until here
end

I forgot to put the full story here:
I put the event because I need it to fire even when the other lines are playing, with your code it only works at the start. How would I achieve what I want?

What I want to achieve:

--At least, this was my plan. If anyone could come up with a similar idea then that would be nice :)
	--event
	--if ___ then
	--continue (won't work because it's inside an event)
	--end
	--end)

Maybe try just removing the continue lol

for i, v in pairs(pathpoints) do
	inunderground.Changed:Connect(function(bool)
		if bool == true then

		else
			break
		end
	end)
	hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v) --Don't touch from this line
	hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	if (hrp.Position - v.Position).Magnitude > 1 then
		hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v)
		hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end --Until here
end

Edit: and get rid of the event if possible. i don’t know how your code works, but it feels wonky to put an event in a for loop? like this would be better:

for i, v in pairs(pathpoints) do
	if bool == true then

	else
		break
	end
	hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v) --Don't touch from this line
	hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	if (hrp.Position - v.Position).Magnitude > 1 then
		hum:MoveTo(v.Position, v)
		hum.MoveToFinished:Wait()
	end
end

Never mind, I’ll just find my own way to solve it.

Just to confirm something, are you wanting everything after this point to be on hold until some set conditions are met?

#8

I have another problem on my hands, and I think I already have a solution, I think we can leave this thread right here

Your code is synchronous which means the it will only do other tasks after completing the for loop, i.e one task at a time can only be achieved. If you do want multi-threading, where two bits of code run on seperate threads independent of each other. Use task.spawn or coroutines.
