How could you make a function run and then ignore it?
I have a simple loop that I'm using to run a non stop check. While it sounds inefficient, I've tried all other ways. My issue is that, if conditions match it's supposed to regenerate something at a timed interval. For example:
01 | while true do |
02 | wait(1) |
03 | local check = false |
04 | -- It gets dicey here |
05 | if check == true then |
06 | addHealth() |
07 | wait(1) |
08 | addHealth() |
09 | wait(1) |
10 | addHealth() |
11 | check = false |
12 | anotherVar = 7 |
13 | end |
14 | -- Ignore here |
15 | if anotherVar == 1 then |
16 | check = true |
17 | end |
18 | end |
My issue is, that the addHealth() followed by the wait will actually make the loop wait for 3 seconds, as opposed to waiting for 1 second and then continuing. Is there a way to run a function in the loop, and essentially have the loop not wait for that function to continue?
Just a tack on, if there is a way to do what is above, is it possible to check if said function is already running?

And you want to declare local check outside the loop and before it. Since it's inside, in each iteration you're declaring a local variable named 'check' User#19524 175 — 6y
