How do i reset a wait() or multiple wait()

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a stamina script where there’s a regenerate stamina function, the problem is after sprinting and jumping, it would run the same function again which i don’t want that

preview code

local function RegenStamina()
	wait(regendelaytime)
	Module.Regenerate = true
end

----jumping----
Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(state)
	if state == true then
		--print("jumped")
		Module.Regenerate = true
		consumeamounthere
	else 
		RegenStamina()
	end
end)

-----sprinting----
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.KeyCode == SprintKey and gameProcessed == false and UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then
       sprintingstuffhere = true
	end
end)


----stop sprinting---
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.KeyCode == SprintKey and gameProcessed == false or not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.W) then
		sprintingstuffhere = false
		RegenStamina()
	end
end)

If I understand correctly, every time the player performs an action, the regenerate function must be called, but you want to avoid it regenerating multiple times. (Google Translate)

Try this

local globalregencheck = 0

local function RegenStamina()
	globalregencheck += 1
	local regencheck = globalregencheck
	wait(regendelaytime)
	if regencheck ~= globalregencheck then return end
	Module.Regenerate = true
end

You can use ticks.

local current_time = tick()

task.wait(5)

print(tick() - current_time)
-- prints 5 seconds

I’m not familiar with tick(), may you please explain?

It does work, but for some reason it printed the same thing again after it’s ran, should i be worried?

#6

The other person’s code should work anyways.
Here’s a good tutorial: The Ultimate os, time, and tick Tutorial! - Resources / Community Tutorials - Developer Forum | Roblox

local tick = tick
local wait = wait

local function CustomWait(seconds)
    local startTime = tick()
    while tick() - startTime < seconds do
        task.wait(0.1)
    end
end

local function ResetWait()
    startTime = tick() -- Reset the start time
end

CustomWait(2)
ResetWait()

It is printing because the function is being called but not executed to completion. Basically what the function does is store the moment in which it is being called and after the “regendelay” the function will check if it was called again, if so, the regeneration will not happen and will let the last call do the regeneration.
