You’re a really smart guy. I wouldn’t doubt if you told me you’ve learned multiple other programming languages. You’re fast, efficient and you explain very well, crazy :+1:

Do note that:
task.desynchronize() and task.synchronize() can only run under scripts that are a descendant of an Actor. Else, the script would error.

Thread is when you can pass through the script or do not stop other scripts even if there is a while loop for example, am I correct?

Why is the sound script not working?

for _,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
	if v.ClassName == "TextButton" then
		v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MaxVisibleGraphemes"):Connect(function()
			script.Text:Play()
		end)
	end
end

Imagine an actual thread :thread:. If we were to split it into two using task.desynchronize or coroutine.create, we will have… two threads! Okay, that was stupid but you get it.

These threads have their own code and work alongside each other.
If we had one thread running two loops, the first one would run but not the second one. However, if we had one loop on both threads, both loops would run.

while true do
--do something
end --will run

while true do
--do something else
end --will not run

--____________________--
------First Thread------
while true do
--do something
end --will run

-----Second Thread------
while true do
--do something else
end --will also run

I got it!! Also that was a good example not gonna lie XD. So threads makes you able to run multiple tasks at the same time?

That is correct!

Both coroutines and the task library work with threads well.

Glad we could help you! Remember that you can still have help from others, you don’t need to learn everything yourself.

Thank you :> I will count with you and @Youf_Dev in case I need. If you want, of course XD

Talking about that, how long have you been working with Lua?

:IsA() is more reliable than checking the instance’s ClassName

for _, v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
	if v:IsA("TextButton") then
		v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Text"):Connect(function()
			repeat task.wait() until not script.Text.IsPlaying
            script.Text:Play()
		end)
	end
end

Might not work, but give it a go!

Wait! I may know why, the GUI always replicate on the PlayerGui, the local script is not inside the GUI and yes on the StarterGui! It is getting the not replicated GUI!

Why did you use coroutine this time? Since tween runs with no need of any more threads? Is that because of the for loop, though?

#60

It’s because of the task.wait()'s in the tween function. If I didn’t use coroutine, the functions would run one by one. In other words, textbox1 will call the function and once it’s done then textbox2 will call the function and so on. The problem is we want to ignore the task.wait()'s so they all run at the same time. Using coroutine.wrap()() is perfect for that.

Here is an example of calling a function multiple times with and without using coroutine!

Without using coroutine:

SCRIPT:

function waitFunction()
	print("Hello World!")
	wait(3)
end

waitFunction()
waitFunction()
waitFunction()

OUTPUT:

Hello World!
-- wait 3 seconds
Hello World!
-- wait 3 seconds
Hello World!
-- wait 3 seconds
Using coroutine:

SCRIPT:

function waitFunction()
	print("Hello World!")
	wait(3)
end

coroutine.wrap(waitFunction)()
coroutine.wrap(waitFunction)()
coroutine.wrap(waitFunction)()

OUTPUT:

Hello World!
Hello World!
Hello World!

As you could tell, when using coroutine, the waits are ignored and it prints “Hello World!” at the same time. Hope I helped!
