Could someone explain coroutines to me, and maybe give an example?
If you could, that'd be great! (I want to know to further my knowledge and in the end help more people here. If anyone knows how to explain it, please do!)

A coroutine is essentially a new thread within a script. This allows you to have multiple loops at the same time and to continue a script while also yielding, amongst other things. For example:
01 | local loop = coroutine.create(function() |
02 | while true do |
03 | wait() |
04 | print("Hello") |
05 | end |
06 | end) |
07 | coroutine.resume(loop) |
08 | while wait() do |
09 | print("World!") |
10 | end |
11 | --Both loops here would run simultaneously |
