How to wait in milliseconds?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi this is a simple question, but is it possible to wait in milliseconds ?
I need it to do some BPM based animation and for my music sync in-game intro but it uses wait() and apparently using wait() is not a great idea in this script:

local tempo = 200 --BPM
local finished = true

repeat
	wait(60/tempo) -- Is there another way ?
	--Rest of the code
until finished == true

Wait only works in seconds, so there is no other way, doing 60/tempo works fine for now.

It’s also important to note that the minimum value for wait() is 0.03, so the fastest tempo you can do is 200 BPM.

You can convert seconds to milliseconds through googling.

Here is 1 millisecond
wait(0.001)

Here is 100 milliseconds
wait(0.1)

And so forth.

that will probably cause the script to fail since wait() max is 0.03

Also someone recommended to use tick() maybe I could use this

That precision is nearly impossible to do, even RunService events struggle to keep up with a millisecond yielding because the FPS cap commonly is 60 and 1/60, is more than 16 ms.
