Yeah with delay, didn't the script delay until the functions was run?
Would it go like:
delay(function() script.Parent.Enabled.Changed:connect(function(prop)
--blah
Or if theres an easier way to delay a script until something is changed, plz post that.
Er another thing, please post ASAP, I need this answered very soon. |

delay(time, function) calls function after time seconds, without pausing the current thread. |

just
delay = script.Parent.BoolValue
while delay == true do
wait(1)
end
--rest of script here |

never mind that whould never stop it needs to be
delay = script.Parent.BoolValue
while delay == true do
delay = script.Parent.BoolValue --if you don't have this delay won't update
wait(1)
end
--rest of script here |

@MicroUser ok... |

Argh, I forgot about coroutines....
So say I had this:
Text = {Blah, blah, blah}
Cor = coroutine.create(function()
while true do --Just a Rough little thing
wait(8)
for i,v in ipairs(Text) do
coroutine.yield(v)
end
end
while true do
if condition then
wait()
else
Somehint.Text = coroutine.resume(Cor) --Something like that?
end
end
Something like that? |

Oh now I see that lol
Ill try it |
|

This is the actual script,Do you think it will cause any running errors?
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(playa)
local Text = {"Welcome to The Hardest/Longest Obby in Roblox "..playa.Name.." !", "Theres are currently "..#game.Teams:GetChildren().." Courses in this game", "Pay attention the the small, Red balls with the excalmation point decals in the game", "They might be helpful to you"}
local h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Parent = playa
h.Name = "Hint"
h.Text = ""
local Cor = coroutine.create(function()
local pos = 0
while true do
if pos == #Text then
pos = 0
end
pos = pos + 1
wait(8)
playa.Hint.Text = Text[pos]
coroutine.yield()
end
end)
function Resume()
wait()
playa.Hint.Text = coroutine.resume(Cor)
end
function WaitUntil()
while playa.Enabled do
wait()
end
end
while true do
if playa.Enabled then
WaitUntil()
else
Resume()
end
end
end)

Not exactly.
Normally when the player enters, the text in the table would be cycled through and displayed in the players Hint every 8 second.
But I encountered that ni some cases, I need that cycle to be paused until a condition is passed.
Thats what Im gunning for |

delay(time, function)
as in
delay(3, function()
print("This message was delayed 3 seconds.")
end) |

I create the coroutine and run it in the same function. For example:
coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
--Do my stuff here.
end)) |

I think delay()s might be useful in my broken bit of code.
I'm trying to make it so if the 'flag' is in the character, the code stops.
x=0
function onFlagChanged(property, flag, set)
if property=="Parent" then
repeat
if flag.Parent.className == "Backpack" then return end
wait(1)
x=x+1
print(x)
until x==6
x=0
flag:Remove() --Returns the flag..
end
end
And yes, there is a connection.
If the flag hasn't been taken in any of those six seconds, return it.
What it does :
I dropped the flag, picked it up.
5 seconds later it returns itself.
Can you fix it?
I tried Scripting Helpers, and no one posts.

function FUNCTION(a,b,c)
print(a,b,c)
end
assert(coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(FUNCTION),1,2,3)) |

Lol no duh Matt, I believe even a novice scripter knows howto use coroutines.
Anyways, it works, and it incorporates somehow metatables, the delay function, and coroutines :D |
