Extremely fast wait()

Help and Feedback Creations Feedback
#1

its so fast, that its unstable for while true do and will still crash

GOOD TIME TO USE IT:
perlin noise, unless its a huge map or somethin
BAD TIME TO USE IT:
while true do and repeat etc.

i use it for my perlin noise map generator

How to use it:

local module = require(pathtomodule)
module:veryFastWait(number)

where to place it:
you can place it in replicatedstorage if youre gonna use it in the client, else you can put it in serverscriptservice

and a poll, should i put it in #resources:community-resources ?

A function that allows you to wait in milliseconds

You should measure the speed of it before asking for feedback, just to see how much different it is from task.wait() (1/60th of a second)

when i measured it,
its like

Could you show us how you measured it? Because realistically that isn’t feasible.

i just used tick

local start = tick()
module:veryFastWait()
print(tick() - start)

I just looked at the module and while it sort of does ‘wait’, it’s still doing a lot of processing in that time and I really don’t think it should be used for stuff like terrain generation or really anything else since it’s just adding unnecessary processing to your code, since it’s just loops of 3 of these:

game:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Workspace")

It’s not crashing in a while loop because it’s so fast, but because you’re not actually waiting and you’re just doing extra work.

it does, just a lighter one than
while true do end

the reason it findfirstchilds is findfirstchild is slower than the dot operator which means it does some delay, so i put 3 findfirstchilds

This is probably not very good for performance.

I use nano-wait sometimes.

while true do break end

how long does this yield the thread?
