Examples

number Wait()

Within a Schedule function this is how you implement a loop to make something happen every frame and give you a delta of time between the frames for smooth animation:

self:Schedule(
  function()
    while true do
      local dt = Wait() -- wait a frame and return the elapsed time
      DoSomething(dt)
    end
  end
)
