Task.wait(n) vs wait(n)

[HugeCoolboy2007 (omega)]

I can’t think of a situation where you’d want to use wait() over task.wait()

task.wait

Yields the current thread until the given duration (in seconds) has elapsed and then resumes the thread on the next Heartbeat step.

elapsed task.wait(duration=0)

Since the actual yield time may vary, this method returns it for convenience.

local elapsedTime = task.wait(2) -- wait for 2 seconds
print(elapsedTime) --> 2.0792941

If no duration is given the duration will default to zero meaning the thread will automatically resume on the next step.

task.wait()
-- is equivalent in behavior to
RunService.Heartbeat:Wait()

task.wait is an improved version of wait which schedules the current thread to be resumed after some time has elapsed without throttling.
