How i can stop pending yielding ?

GarromOrcShaman

To get you to my situation. I have function what can be triggered multiple times. It contain, and dependent on yielding for incoming signal. Problem come when is function called too many times. If it happen, pending yielding destroy my solution. Is here any way, how I can instantly stop yield and trigger it over (i.e. restart yield ? but stop it seems to be more useful information)

I have no actual experience with yield, as I have never used it in GDScript and have rarely used it in other programming languages.

I found this answer from the QA. Not sure how useful it will be though. Based on what I could find, it appears there is no way to stop a yield statement in GDScript. Seems like there should be a way, since there is a way to resume yield functions, which (at least to me) implies there is a way to pause/stop them.

But as I said above, I have not used yield. I have always just used timer variables instead, for better or for worse.

One thing you could try is adding a boolean variable and before you call yield set it to true. Then you just check to see if the boolean variable is true before you call yield, and if it is set to true then skip the line with yield altogether.

I guess I'm not first or last who need need this. GoDot is created by community, If someone skilled in low level languages need it, I believe he go and write it.I believe there is way how to do it. I don't mean it to be rude, but I rather wait for response from someone who using GDScript and yields. @TwistedTwigleg said: One thing you could try is adding a boolean variable and before you call yield set it to true.

I tried already, it was of no use because variable was set every time I called function.

No worries, I would do exactly the same thing! :smile:

At first I was not going to post, but I was not sure if you saw the QA or not, so I thought I would post in case you had not seen it.

Hopefully someone who knows will answer!
