How do I make a function wait to execute until another function has finished before it?

Scripts are pretty linear. There's not often that you need to do something like this because a function will automatically wait for that function to finish until it continues. There is one way to do this, though, if needed.
local FuncDone = false
function f1()
FuncDone = false -- Reset it in case of multiple calls
Spawn(function() -- Start a new thread
print("A")
wait(3)
print("B")
FuncDone = true
end)
end
function f2()
f1()
repeat wait(1/20) until FuncDone
print("C")
end
f2()
You could have a function that returns true or false, and then have a repeat statement.
So for example:
function f1()
if 1==1 then
return true
else
return false
end
end
function f2()
f1()
repeat wait() until f1
end
