Issue with time-stop command

[12Noob_19761 (Femsboy)]

The Loop function won’t stop when “stopped” is true

coroutine.wrap(function()
    --while wait() do
    if not stopped then
        Loop = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(LoopStep)
        print("not stopped")
    else
        print("?")
        Loop:Disconnect(LoopStep)
        print("stopped")
    end
    --end
end)()

It’s because it’s not disconnecting the heartbeat function, or maybe it needs to run again to disconnect it.

can you give me an example on how to disconnect it?

[bluebxrrybot (blueberry)]

local connection = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(LoopStep)
-- later:
-- replace
stopped = true
-- with
if connection then
    connection:Disconnect()
    connection = nil
end

thank you that worked, but do you know how do I start the time loop again?

You can make functions like this:

local loop
local function Stop()
    if loop then
        loop:Disconnect()
        loop = nil
    end
end

local function Start()
    Stop()
    loop = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(LoopStep)
end

Start()

Or to be neater, you can do this:

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
    if not stopped then LoopStep(dt) end
end)
