Why is my wait not using the value I'm giving it?
Issue
It's quite a simple question really.. for some reason, my wait won't grab my value, no matter what I do.
Script
local WaitTimer = 0.2
if Introduction then
wait(WaitTimer)
for Intro,Text in pairs (AnnounceMessages) do
Announcer(Text)
end
end

How are you checking that it isn't waiting for that amount of time? User#34187 8 — 4y

By going through and testing the entire script, this is only a part of the script. Just2Terrify 566 — 4y

Consider adding a print statement after the wait to make sure that the code is actually reached. EncapsuIation 450 — 4y

It is reached, it just isn't waiting for the time it's supposed to be waiting for. Just2Terrify 566 — 4y

Wait is not completely accurate (by small portions of a millisecond) and it won't become more accurate as time goes by. These small waits will slowly add up to seconds or more. You could make your own wait tho (not always recommended).
local RenderStepped = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped
local function wait(t)
t = t or 0
local time = tick()
while true do
local Delta = RenderStepped:Wait()
t = t + Delta
if tick() - time >= t then
break
end
end
end
