Would my code be inefficient, redeclaring the local function every time if instead of
local function A() ... end
while wait() do
A()
end
I do
while wait() do
local function A() ... end
A()
end

It’s not end of the world inefficient, but it’s both bad practice and it incurs a small performance overhead to re-declare functions that could otherwise be declared only once.
See for yourself: run print(A)
in both cases, the later you’ll see the memory addresses can change, think about the work you just created to: find that new address, discard the function when it’s no longer used.
Just as another note, if you are going to loop every wait()
, or use a while loop in general, there’s no point really calling a function:
while wait() do
... -- Function code
end
Unless of course you use the function in other sections in your code.
