Faster repeat method than while true do?
I have programmed a world generator and
1 | while true do |
2 | wait () |
3 |
4 | end |
already generates too much delay and ensures that the world is generated very slowly

You don't need to wait() after every iteration. You can do 10, 20, even 100 at a time without any problems. Just make sure it does eventually wait or it will hang. ee0w 458 — 6y

Use a hearbeat wait? xPolarium 1388 — 6y

Loading in chunks is definitely the way to go for this. xPolarium 1388 — 6y

Absolutely chunks imo if your doing any kind of terrain generator ABK2017 406 — 6y

Unless you mean just the loading, in which case you can look into Network StreamingEnabled but read up on it because it effects a lot in local scripts ABK2017 406 — 6y

Take a look at RunService's Events => https://www.robloxdev.com/api-reference/class/RunService. And indeed, the above user''s suggestions are highly recommended. Nevertheless, the answer to your question can be found in RunService's Events; Stepped, Heatbeat or RenderStepped Zafirua 1348 — 6y

A "faster" method without a wait will crash the server if it's a infinite loop. angeI1001 123 — 6y

01 | local amount = 0 |
02 | local MaxAmount = 20 -- 10,20,100 |
03 | while true do |
04 | if amount+1 > MaxAmount then |
05 | amount = 0 |
06 | wait() -- Set Amount |
07 | return |
08 | end |
09 | amount = amount+1 |
10 | if amount == MaxAmount then |
11 | amount = 0 |
12 | wait() -- Set amount |
13 | return |
14 | end |
15 |
16 | -- Do rest |

cool. I once did this accidentally with it going 1000 times before wait () and my frames per second went down to like 1/2 but it didn't hang. Really annoying. OBenjOne 190 — 6y
