Is there a way to run two loops(repeat loops or while true do loops) inside a script?

Asked 1,063 views1 answers

I've tried to use a module script and it didn't work, because it was practically the same thing as adding it to the script itself. I want to know if there's a method to run two separate loops (repeat loops or while true do loops) inside of a script for example:

If I do this it will run the other loop after the loop above it ends.

local b = false

while true do
wait(0.1)
print('a')
end 

repeat
wait(0.1)
print('b')
until b == true

If there isn't a way to do this. How would I communicate to another script without firing remote events?

Use spawn(function()

spawn(function() is basically like running two things at the same time, it's very useful, especially if you need to do things after a loop, or two loops. Let me show you how you would do it in this case:

local b = false
spawn(function()

while true do
wait(0.1)
print('a')
end
end) 
spawn(function()
repeat
wait(0.1)
print('b')
until b == true

end)
