Is this bad to be doing?

So I have a local function inside a local function. Here's why, it has a for loop in it that I don't want to put it in the main function containing the other function for readability. But I don't necessarily need this function for other purposes, so that's why I'm keeping it inside of the first function. Is this inefficient?

Why would that be inefficient?

Well no it's not inefficient. Spawn a thread of a thread of a thread that creates a script file that spawns a thread of a thread that spawns 100 threads to handle the for loop in each of those 100 threads forever.

Try creating a coroutine in the real script Just this coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function () --loop here end))

Not as efficient as just declaring it once, most likely.
