Moderators Melba23 Posted March 9, 2011 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2011 Velnes,That snippet you posted will lead you into big trouble. It is infinitely recursive - that is to say that you call a function again from within itself - like this:Start _run() - instance 1 Start func2() - instance 1 Start _run() - instance 2 Start func2() - instance 2 Start _run() - instance 3 and so on ad infinitum......you never return from any of the functions. :blink:First I suggest that you read the Recursion tutorial in the Wiki - it will explain why recursion can be so dangerous.Next, I suggest you rewrite your script so that you do not use infinitely recursive loops like that.Finally, I suggest you read the Interrupting a running function tutorial in the Wiki - which should help you see how to keep your "Stop" button active even when you are running your functions.Have fun!
