:wait() as a method?
I've seen wait used as a method a few times, I was wondering if any of you can explain how this works to me. Thanks. (Note: I've only seen it used on events)

wait() is basically telling the computer to wait until something would happen. Example:
local P = game.Workspace.Part
function onTouch(part)
P.Transparency = 0
wait(2) --"Oh! I see the wait symbol, that means I have to wait 2 seconds until I do something!
P.Transparency = 1
end
--and other function stuff here

I figured it out. It's a property of roblox events. It allows you to pause the script to wait for the event itself. Example: script.Parent.Touched:Wait() Assuming that the parent is of course a part. Vathriel 510 — 10y
