Task.wait(n) vs wait(n)

[LucasMZ_RBX (LucasMZ)]

No. Definitively not, task.wait is definitively better.

The differences with wait and task.wait are:

• wait() can sometimes delay when it resumes the thread because of performance concerns, which is actually bad because you will rarely have those because of it

• task.wait() updates 2x faster than wait(), therefore more accurate

wait() also returns a second value which describes the time that it finished yielding (basically os.time()). An example of this can be found in the Roblox default animate script. Note that it’s not worth using wait() over task.wait() specifically for this reason. You can simply call os.time after your yield to replicate the behavior.

Just note that task.wait, just like wait is still a code smell, usually indicates a bigger structural problem with your code.
