How can I make multiple functions run simultaneously from the same script?
I tried making this function to a coroutine but...
module.Functions.Dispatch = coroutine.wrap(function(train, path, button)
if path == nil then return end
button.Text = path.Name
while wait() do
if path.Status == 0 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 170, 0)
button.Active = true
elseif path.Status == 1 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
button.Active = true
elseif path.Status == 2 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
button.Active = false
end
if train == nil then
button.Text = ""
button.Active = false
break
end
end
end)
when I call it multiple times, only the first one starts.
module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[1], O1) module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[2], O2) module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[3], O3)
How can I run them at the same time? Thanks.

Only one coroutine ever runs at a time theking48989987 2147 — 5y

Use spawn. I would avoid coroutine, unless you require some specific coroutine functionality.
spawn(module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[1], O1)) spawn(module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[2], O2)) spawn(module.Functions.Dispatch(mod.QueuedTrain, mod.Paths[3], O3))
Edit: If you want spawn inside function, you can do it like this:
module.Functions.Dispatch = function(train, path, button)
if path == nil then return end
button.Text = path.Name
spawn(function()
while wait() do
if path.Status == 0 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(0, 170, 0)
button.Active = true
elseif path.Status == 1 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 255, 0)
button.Active = true
elseif path.Status == 2 then
button.TextColor3 = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
button.Active = false
end
if train == nil then
button.Text = ""
button.Active = false
break
end
end
end)
end
