Stopping a script before the end

If for example you have a large script doing many things and you want it to exit before reaching the end of the function what is the correct way of doing that.

A lazy healing script im playing with will heal raid 1-12, if anyone dies it prints to party who died (for the leroy tank who tears off without the healer LOL), and when combat ends it begins resing. So when it begins resing I don't want the function to continue cause later in the script it will retarget the tank.

Do I use Break or Return or some other command.

break exits loops (while/repeat) and return exits functions.

eg

	Source code
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11	function checkDead() while true do if targetDead then break elseif targetAggro then return end targetNextPlayer() end resPlayer() end

So if the target is dead it'll break loop and res, else if target has aggro on something it'll exit function so you can run another to deal with it.

all just made up functions ofc xD And could be totally wrong as well
