hello, so I recently found out how to make a more accurate wait. It’ll basically add task.wait onto a value. Then a repeat loop will yeild the script until the value goes to the value I want. I’d like some feedback on it plz.
local Start = 0
local StartTime = tick()
repeat Start += task.wait() until Start >= 4
print(string.format("finished in: %s", tick() - StartTime))
it printed:
so it’s like 100% accurate! i appreciate any feedback. thx
fun fact this is actually faster than the normal task.wait()!!
This wait is more accurate, but I can’t help but think that is is a bit overkill. Using a repeat loop probably isn’t the greatest practice, especially for a difference of .0002 seconds. In most cases, this small latency won’t matter.
However, great job experimenting within the game engine. It’s always fun to discover new things 
it’s usually more faster than that. But also over time that 0.002 can stack and make it unaccurate. I did it with my stopwatch thing and it was way more accurate than doing task.wait()
“I made a more accurate wait(). How did I do it? I repeatedly added task.wait()'s until the time was reached!”
Uh… like @Infinite_Visions stated this is probably overkill and task.wait() should be just fine.
There’s also no real conclusion on if your method is faster. I get just about the same exact values (4.0005 - 4.012) whether I do task.wait() or the custom wait.
that’s true. I was simply asking for feedback on it and it’s still more accurate.
There’s not enough evidence to tell which is faster. Spreading misinformation in any form doesn’t help anyone. A custom wait would’ve been faster before the task library came out, because wait()'s default was 1/30th of a second, a custom wait with game["Run Service"].Heartbeat:Wait() would’ve been “faster.”
Your custom wait is just returning the elapsed time given by task.wait():
And adding them up until the seconds you want to elapse is reached. Not only is this counter-intuitive, since print(task.wait(4)) would also give you the elapsed time, but there’s also no real time difference. It’s also pretty negligible.
ok, I didn’t know that. Thx for the information.
