heres the code:

				end
			end

			local canWork = true
			local cdConn = cd.MouseClick:Connect(function() -- this is the pressed connection
				if canWork then
					onPressed()
				end
			end)

			local totaltime = 0
			local conn
			conn = game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
				totaltime += dt
				if totaltime >= timeoutTime then
					-- past time
					print("The shutdown button was not pressed")
					canWork = false
					cdConn:Disconnect() -- dont allow any more presses
					conn:Disconnect() -- stop the loop
				end
			end)

my problem is, when didWork() is ran, it doesnt stop everything after the script, and thats a problem for me, i dont know how to solve this myself, so please help

A simple way would be to set a boolean to true when the function runs, and in all the other functions insert the following into the code after each wait():

if booleanName then return end

(replace booleanName with the name of the bool)

3

tried implementing this, and it didnt work

4

i dont think i implemented it properly, lemme try again

How did you find out that the script is not being yielded? Did you trigger the ClickDectector.MouseClick event a second time after you just triggered it?

6

it is being yielded, and i dont want it to continue to be yielded if didWork() runs

7

got @MegabyteOfficial’s solution to work

OK. Maybe doing this will help: wrap the calling of the function didWork() in a task.spawn(); or wrap the whole function didWork() in a task.spawn().

Example 1:

if randNum == 1 then
    task.spawn(didWork)

else
    didntWork()
end

Example 2:

local function didWork()
    task.spawn(function()
        -- Write the code inside of the didWork() function here.
    end)
end

Edit: Oops. I just saw your second message.
