Hello Developers!

I have a few questions regarding coroutines. What is coroutine.yield and how can I use it. And what are some usecases of using coroutines? Thanks!

In place of Spawn() and delay() it been pointed out by many in debates like the ones I will list below that the usage of is considered bad practice and to use coroutines instead

Courintines vs spawn()?

Whats the difference from the two, they both make and run new threads right?

Coroutines V.S. Spawn()... Which one should I use?

The title says it all… Basically I want to know in what scenarios I should use: spawn(function() -- Script end) And what scenarios I should use: local thing = coroutine.create(function() -- Script end) coroutine.resume(thing) So… When is it best to use spawn(function() and when it is best to use coroutines?

here’s a video

Like in the video it says “its like creating a new script” imagine using it to…

• control multiple NPC’S
• run a loop (wouldn’t recommend… just an example)
• I think that’s as far as my imagination goes…

just running multiple threads in a single script to do anything you desire tbh when the time comes just keep a mental note of what is possible if you use em
