Build package from AUR just to get .pkg.tar.zst

Hello, how can I just build package from AUR to get .pkg.tar.zst file, but do not install the package itself on my machine? I am working on repository and I just wanted to make package files to add them to the repo. I used "makepkg" command and it worked with some small packages, but when I want to build something bigger like yay it has problem with dependenciences (requirment packages) and I dont wanna install them you know. I want just to build package and get .pkg.tar.zst. Thanks!
