I have a custom gun script in my game with animations. I use :GetPropertyChangedSignal() for the animations to make sure they are done playing before the player can aim, but the problem with this is that if you try to aim before it's finished playing, the gun won't work anymore. If you were to use wait() here, it would yield the entire script and also break it. How can I make a cooldown for this that won't actually yield the entire script?

you can use delay(t, func) to run a function in a separate thread after a certain amount of time
the actual delay part (aka the part where it waits before running the function) won't yield the thread it was called in
edit because you asked for an example:
delay(5, function()
print("awesome!")
end)
print("cool!") -- cool! prints first, even though it's after the delay, because the delay runs in a separate thread
