| thread | ( | function | f | ) |
This function registers the given Lua function as a new thread (a Lua coroutine).
Also see wait() for a closely related function.
| wait | ( | number | t | ) |
This is an alias for coroutine.yield() from the Lua standard library.
It is used in threads (Lua coroutines) in order to suspend the execution of the thread. When called, control is given back to other parts of the program, and the thread will automatically be resumed later.
Note that the parameter t is optional: calling wait() is the same as calling wait(0).
| t | The time in seconds to wait before the thread is resumed. If omitted or 0, the thread is resumed in the next frame. |
| waitFrame | ( | number | t | ) |
This is another alias for coroutine.yield() from the Lua standard library.
See wait() for details.
