What way can you run 2 loops at same time?

[Ie_fishe (paywalls)]

So I have 2 functions which 1 is a loop, this loop needs to ongoing through the entire time of lets say 5 seconds. I also have another function which is not a loop function meaning it runs normally, the loop function has to come first but if I do that then 2nd function will not perform.

Is there any way to make the script ignore the while loop function and after about 3 seconds perform the 2nd function?

coroutines I THINK im not quite sure tho

You’re going to want to use coroutines, it’s the best solution for what it seems you’re trying to get at. There are many YouTube and DevForum tutorials on how to use this. I think you can also use spawn() but I’ve never really tried that.

Coroutines - When and how to use them

Introduction Co-routines, formally known as Coroutines, can be used to create a separate non preemptive threads and run code without yielding the main thread. But what exactly are threads, and in what cases would you need to use them? In this tutorial, I’ll be covering the entirety of Coroutines and when you’ll need to use them so let’s begin! Understanding the concept of threads The Computer Science meaning of a thread is line of execution usually a component of a process that can be manage…

You could use coroutine s to achieve this. Coroutine is a whole library, meaning there are multiple things to it. Coroutines are able to create new threads, meaning yields won’t be propagated.

Spawn is also an alternative, although too many threads created with spawn will cause latency. As addressed in eveara’s article.
