Constantly keep two for loops running within a while loop?
So, I am trying to use two for loops. One iterates through a table, and one is numerical. I want them both to run at the same time, and repeat using a while loop. Here's what I have so far:
01 | spawn(function() |
02 | while char do |
03 | p1, p2 = char.Torso.Position, floater.Position |
04 | local dist = (p1 - p2).magnitude |
05 | for i = 0, math.pi * 100, 0.05 do -- numerical |
06 | weld.C0 = CFrame.new(3.5 * math.sin(i), math.sin(tick()) * 1.5, 2.5 * math.cos(i)) |
07 | weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(math.cos(i), math.cos(i), 0) |
08 | s.RunService.RenderStepped:wait() |
09 | end |
10 | for i, v in pairs(rainbow) do -- table |
11 | e.BrickColor = v |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
How would I do this?

For what you want, you should use coroutines.
Coroutines essentially eradicate any yeilds from the code
There are two ways you could do this.
1) Use coroutine.wrap, which will create a callable thread.
2) User coroutine.create to create a coroutine, then coroutine.resume to run it.
Here's an example of both..
coroutine.wrap;
01 | spawn(function() |
02 | while char do |
03 | p1, p2 = char.Torso.Position, floater.Position |
04 | local dist = (p1 - p2).magnitude |
05 | coroutine.wrap(function() |
06 | for i = 0, math.pi * 100, 0.05 do -- numerical |
07 | weld.C0 = CFrame.new(3.5 * math.sin(i), math.sin(tick()) * 1.5, 2.5 * math.cos(i)) |
08 | weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(math.cos(i), math.cos(i), 0) |
09 | s.RunService.RenderStepped:wait() |
10 | end |
11 | end)() |
12 | for i, v in pairs(rainbow) do -- table |
13 | e.BrickColor = v |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
coroutine.resume / coroutine.create
01 | spawn(function() |
02 | while char do |
03 | p1, p2 = char.Torso.Position, floater.Position |
04 | local dist = (p1 - p2).magnitude |
05 | coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() |
06 | for i = 0, math.pi * 100, 0.05 do -- numerical |
07 | weld.C0 = CFrame.new(3.5 * math.sin(i), math.sin(tick()) * 1.5, 2.5 * math.cos(i)) |
08 | weld.C1 = CFrame.Angles(math.cos(i), math.cos(i), 0) |
09 | s.RunService.RenderStepped:wait() |
10 | end |
11 | end)) |
12 | for i, v in pairs(rainbow) do -- table |
13 | e.BrickColor = v |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
