I’m trying to make an ability where the player has a “warning stage” before the ability actually works. It works perfectly but when the player dies at that warning stage, time is stopped infinitely. I tried disconnecting the event but it didn’t work. What else should I try?

Anyone know how to completely cancel a remote event’s code?

RipPBB_TUD · April 6, 2025, 4:42am

You might want to look into things like Coroutines/task

-- example:
local stopTime = coroutine.create(function()
--code
end)
-- to begin the code
coroutine.resume(stopTime)
-- to stop the running coroutine
coroutine.close(stopTime)

There are also some modules that do the same thing with more options

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 5:12pm

Wait what coroutine? I’ve been told that task is better than it.

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 5:16pm

Anyways, I’m trying to completely cancel out the connection’s code and not the Stop_Time function

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 7:58pm

I can still try coroutines though even though I’ve hardly ever used them

hkep · April 6, 2025, 8:11pm

Apollo:

local function Toggle_Scripts(character, Toggle_Value)
	for i, v in character:GetDescendants() do
		if not v:IsA("LocalScript") or not v:IsA("Script") then continue end
		v.Enabled = Toggle_Value
	end
end

This can be changed to (since LocalScript inherits Script)

local function Toggle_Scripts(character, Toggle_Value)
	for i, v in character:GetDescendants() do
		if v:IsA("Script") then
			v.Enabled = Toggle_Value
		end
	end
end

I can’t seem to replicate your issue when I create and disable/enable scripts within the character.

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 9:11pm

During the warning stage (character has highlight), reset

hkep · April 6, 2025, 9:13pm

send the place or a test place please.

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 9:15pm

Uhhhh… You’re not going to steal my assets right?

ForeverSp4rK · April 6, 2025, 9:25pm

Just add checks like in the warning section check if the player is exists or the health is 0 if not exists then return nil if u want or u can use continue if it’s in for loop

ForeverSp4rK · April 6, 2025, 9:28pm

Ok take it ig this would fix it try it

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")
local Lighting = game:GetService("Lighting")

local ColorCorrection = Lighting:WaitForChild("ColorCorrection")
local TimeStopEvent = script.Parent
local ResumeTime_Sound = script:WaitForChild("ResumeTime")
local StopTime_Sound = script:WaitForChild("StopTime")
local Cooldown = TimeStopEvent.Parent:WaitForChild("Cooldown")

local Anchored_Parts = {}
local Scripts = {}

local function Toggle_Scripts(character, value)
    for _, v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
        if v:IsA("Script") or v:IsA("LocalScript") then
            v.Enabled = value
        end
    end
end

local function TimeStop_Warning(character)
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local highlight = Instance.new("Highlight", character)
    Toggle_Scripts(character, false)
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    Debris:AddItem(highlight, 5)
    task.wait(3)
    Toggle_Scripts(character, true)
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end

local function ResumeTime(a)
    TweenService:Create(ColorCorrection, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Saturation = 0}):Play()
    for _, part in pairs(Anchored_Parts) do
        part.Anchored = false
    end
    table.clear(Anchored_Parts)
    for _, loopScript in pairs(Scripts) do

            local resumeClone = ResumeTime_Sound:Clone()
            resumeClone.Parent = hrp
            resumeClone:Play()
            ResumeTime(a)
            Debris:AddItem(resumeClone, 2)

TimeStopEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, hrp)
    local character = player.Character
    if not character then return end
    local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
    local aoe
    humanoid.Died:Once(function()
        ResumeTime(aoe)
        ColorCorrection.Saturation = 0
    end)
    TimeStop_Warning(character)
    Cooldown.Value = true
    aoe = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
    aoe.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
    aoe.CastShadow = false

        TweenService:Create(ColorCorrection, TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {Saturation = -1}):Play()
    end)
    aoe.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
        local hitChar = hit.Parent
        if not hitChar:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end
        for _, v in pairs(hitChar:GetDescendants()) do
            if v:IsA("Part") and not v.Anchored and not v:IsDescendantOf(character) and v.Name ~= "HumanoidRootPart" then
                v.Anchored = true
                table.insert(Anchored_Parts, v)
            elseif (v:IsA("Script") or v:IsA("LocalScript")) and not v:IsDescendantOf(character) then
                v.Enabled = false
                table.insert(Scripts, v)
            end

    end)
    Stop_Time(hrp, aoe)

        Cooldown.Value = false
    end)
end)

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 10:02pm

I just tested your script and it didn’t stop the remote event’s script

dzhann757 · April 6, 2025, 10:05pm

I’m trying to completely stop the remote event’s script if the player dies in the “warning” stage

mc7oof · April 6, 2025, 10:47pm

It looks like the script is inside the character:

local Humanoid = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

This script will be destroyed when the character dies.

The script cannot “undo” any changes it made since it not longer exists.

dzhann757 · April 7, 2025, 12:57am

Wait what? I thought the character and its descendants gets destroyed after the respawn time is done. I set the respawn time to 3 seconds and that should be plenty enough time for the script to work.

RipPBB_TUD · April 9, 2025, 7:11am

I think You can wrap the connection’s code in the coroutine

local corou = nil
event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(...)
    corou = -- your code here
end)

-- example function to end it
local function terminateServerEventCode()
    if corou then
        coroutine.close(corou)
    end
end

dzhann757 · April 9, 2025, 11:22pm

Hm… Let me try that

(yeet)

dzhann757 · April 9, 2025, 11:38pm

Oh nice it works! (I haven’t used coroutines in so long lol)
