I want to break a function for example:

func _ready():
    if some_condition:
        print("true")
    else:
        # break
    print("test")

So I want it to be broke and doesn’t print “test”, only “true”.

The break keyword in most programs, including Godot, stops the execution of an if statement or a for, while or any iterative loop. To ‘break’ out of a function, just use the return keyword.

func _ready():
    if some_condition:
        print("true")
    else:
        return # breaks execution of the entire function
    print("test")

Please note that according to your code fragment, this would either print out both true and test, or neither at all.

Sorry if my replying here causes trouble but I want to point out a mistake
The answer above is not correct, maybe I’m a newbie or something, I don’t think break would stop execution of if statement: Does it?
If someone is learning coding and run into here, better double check somewhere else.

Maybe you are thinking of break keyword which breaks/exits a loop.

The OP example is clear, wants to end/exit the function someplace in the middle. And return is correct.
