What do you want to achieve?
I want to successfully yield a coroutine with a wait(), and still run the coroutine, or at least make a new coroutine.
What is the issue?
The running coroutine duplicates because of Roblox’s thread scheduler.
What solutions have you tried so far?
I have tried manipulating Lua’s garbage collecter, forcefully executing an error in the coroutine, and yielding the coroutine.
I’m sort of confused with what you’re trying to do.
There’s coroutine.yield() which will yield the current coroutine until coroutine.resume(thread) is called.
not sure if that’s what you’d be looking for.
huh? Can you elaborate on what exactly you wanna achieve? As far as I can understand, you want to yield a thread and run a function?
So you essentially want to cancel a wait() call that’s still yielding the current thread?
So, calling a wait in a coroutine triggers Roblox’s thread scheduler, and that schedules the coroutine in the amount of seconds inputted in the wait function. It still runs even if you yield the coroutine. I want to cancel/yield that coroutine.
You can’t cancel a scheduled coroutine.
Couroutine.yield
as simple as that…
Alright. Is there any alternatives or workarounds? Should I even be using coroutines?
It depends what you’re trying to do, because you have not told us.
I am trying to convert a KeyframeSequence used to animate a custom rig into a ModuleScript in a plugin. The ModuleScript that is generated is where the code is located. The ModuleScript is executed by a ServerScript.
And what exactly is the problem?
The animation runs twice because the coroutine is scheduled even after the “Stop” function is called. The “Stop” function stops the coroutine executing the animation.
The problem is probably with the code, because coroutines are not duplicated when yielded. You can always pass an information to the coroutine when resuming it that it should stop instead of continuing the execution of the thread.
Sorry. The wait in the coroutine is whats causing the thread to duplicate.
Can you show some code, because I have never heard that wait would duplicate a coroutine.
