Repeat block of code within a repeat?

title might not make sense :P

so ive got this script

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
    local leftMouseDown = true
    player:GetMouse().Button1Up:connect(function() 
        leftMouseDown = false 
    end)
	wait(1)

    while leftMouseDown do
		--Below needs to repeat every 2 seconds
		local animationTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.FishingAnimation)
		animationTrack:Play()
		--Above needs to repeat every 2 seconds
		player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + 10 
        wait(math.random(1,10))
    end
end)

ive got my animation that plays on repeat along with my give gold live which both repeat between every 1 to 10 seconds, problem is the the animation is only 2 seconds long, so if the wait is 3 seconds the animation stops for 1 second which i cant have...

so my question is how would i get the animation to repeat every 2 seconds no matter what and the gold + 10 to repeat every 1 to 10 seconds like it is now? if this is even possible

any and all help is appreciated thanks

You can use the spawn function, which creates a new thread in a script that runs at the same time as other threads in a script. This is also known as a coroutine.

spawn() takes one parameter, which is the function that you want to run. Using spawn to call the function will multi-thread it and allow it to run at the same time as other threads inside the same script.

function playAnimation(player) -This is the function that would be running at the same time as the other threads inside this script.
        while leftMouseDown do
                local animationTrack = player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.FishingAnimation)
                animationTrack:Play()
                wait(2)
        end
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(function(player)
    local leftMouseDown = true
    player:GetMouse().Button1Up:connect(function() 
        leftMouseDown = false 
    end)
    wait(1)

    spawn(playAnimation(player)) --Call the function we created earlier using the spawn function, player being the player who clicked the button.
    while leftMouseDown do
        player.leaderstats.Gold.Value = player.leaderstats.Gold.Value + 10 
        wait(math.random(1,10))
    end
end)
