Is there a way to make the script keep running while executing a function()

#1

So, i have a script for buying items in my game, and i made a notification for it that says You Bought: {Item}, but the problem is that it only buys the item after all the notification script ends

And this is a problem because the notification uses 2 tweens and lots of task.wait() so it takes quite a while

Can anyone help me if theres a way to make the script run at the same time as the function?

And no i cant put the notification after or at the time the player buys cuz of the anti cheat system, so it would take about 3 seconds of wait for the notification to appear

check out coroutines :slight_smile:, I dont believe they utilize true multithreading but they should work completely fine for what your attempting to achieve.

This post has good simple examples of how to use task.spawn and task.delay either of which would work well for what you are trying to do.

task.spawn(function()
	task.wait(10)
	print("10 seconds have passed!") --This prints after 10 seconds.
end)

print("Hello world!") --This prints first.

task.spawn() will likely be the simplest for you to use.
