Syntax

$stop

$stop takes no argument ($stop[x] is refused: Invalid argument count).

Behavior

• The rest of the script is skipped, even inside $if or a loop: in a $for loop, the loop ends at once.
• What was written before $stop (text, embeds, components) is still sent as the response. $stop does not discard it. (To discard it and replace it with a message, use $onlyIf[condition;message].)
• Messages already sent with $sendMessage stay sent.
• $stop is not an error: inside $try, the $catch block does not run, and the script ends.
• Inside code run by $eval, $stop only ends the evaluated code; the script that called $eval goes on.

$stop vs $skipActions

Feature	$stop	$skipActions[n]
Effect	Ends the current script	Skips the next n actions of the current block
Resumes afterwards	No	Yes, after the skipped actions
In loops	Ends the loop and the script	Skips actions of the current iteration only

Common Pitfalls

• Placing important code after $stop: it will never run.
• Using $stop inside $try and expecting $catch to run.

Examples

Halting for a condition

$if[$message==]
  Please provide an argument.
  $stop
$endif
You wrote: $message

Leaving a loop and the script

$for[5]
  Step $loopCount
  $if[$i==2]
    $stop
  $endif
$endFor
Done
