I know this is late, but for anyone else who stumbles upon this forum, a possible solution is to use coroutines, but in a different way. Here is a code snippet:

TypeText = function(text)
	while #text < 50 do
		text = text .. "help me"
		print(text)
	end
end

TypeTextTwo = function(text)
	while #text < 50  do
		text = text .. "ghghghg12312"
		print(text)
	end
end

local typeTextCoroutine = coroutine.create(TypeText) -- Do not add the parameters inside of this, this also means you shouldn't add the parenthesis after the function call
local typeTextTwoCoroutine = coroutine.create(TypeTextTwo)

coroutine.resume(typeTextCoroutine, "Example Text") -- Any parameters are added in here after the comma, every parameter is after another comma
coroutine.resume(typeTextTwoCoroutine, "Example Text 2")

print("The loops don't affect me!")

By using this method, you can create a coroutine to basically start a new thread that doesn’t affect the rest. A similar method can be used for task.wait(). Instead of using task.wait(), you can use task.delay() to create a coroutine, effectively not yielding the code.

You can also replace

local typeTextCoroutine = coroutine.create(TypeText)
local typeTextTwoCoroutine = coroutine.create(TypeTextTwo)

coroutine.resume(typeTextCoroutine, "Example Text")
coroutine.resume(typeTextTwoCoroutine, "Example Text 2")

with

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(TypeText), "Example Text")
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(TypeTextTwo), "Example Text 2")
