Is there a way to yield the thread until something happens? [closed]

Is there any way to yield the current thread until something happens?

For example,

game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")

will yield the thread until a child named 'Part' is added. Is there any other way to yield the thread?

You could do something like

while true do
    newPart=Workspace.ChildAdded:Wait()
    if newPart.Name=="Part" then
        break
    end
end

Hope this helps.

Yes, there is. You can use "repeat". For example:

repeat
--whatever code you want to repeat
until
x.Value == 30 --change this to whatever you want it to repeat until

I hope that answers your question! If so, please upvote and accept this answer.

This code will crash the game, as there is no wait() in the body of the repeat. As well, this is a laggy, busywait. Use Defaultio's method instead. adark 5487 — 10y
