task

Work spread over many frames. A task is paused automatically when it has run long enough for one frame, and task.wait pauses it for a while — the game keeps running either way.

task.spawn(fn: function, ...: any): Task

Starts fn as a background task, passing any extra arguments.

task.spawn(function()
  for i = 1, 100 do
    spawnWave(i)
    task.wait(1)
  end
end)

task.wait(seconds?: number): any

Pauses the current task for a number of seconds; 0 waits for the next frame. Only valid inside a task.
