you're using "playfx" which spawns the fx at given origin but cant be deleted, so the fx must not be a naturally looped fx because. well, it will loop forever and you cant stop that. thats why people use "playfxontag" which can be spawned at any tag of a model. normally "tag_origin". and theres a model called "tag_origin" with the same tag name which is invisible so you can play fx on that also. and to stop the fx you must delete the model(ent) it is being played on.
