How do you make a script that runs functions without waiting for one of the functions to finish?

Asked 288 views1 answers

For example, you could have a line of code like this;

function example()
print("hi")
 wait(5)
end

example()

print("hi2")

It will run example which will print "hi", then wait 5 seconds. Then after the 5 seconds, it will print "hi2".

How do you make it so it will print"hi2" and hi at the same time without changing

the wait?

Coroutines! Coroutines will run your function and then the rest of the code, but not one after another. Here's your code with a coroutine:

function example()
	print("hi")
	wait(5)
end

coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function() example() end))

print("hi2")
