Concurrent scripting.

[vald0069 10]

I'll keep this very brief;

 

I come from a background of c++ and I was shocked when I noticed that scripts were automatically run in concurrency. Could someone list (or give some reference to where this is explained) the different ways of calling functions and calling scripts from files, with a note whether the script will execute concurrently with the caller or the caller will wait before the function has completed.

I'm no expert but this is where functions come in. For example, the following will wait for the function "fn_doLoop" to finish before executing the hint command.

fn_doLoop = {
    for "_i" from 0 to 1000 do {
        // Some loop code
    };
};

call fn_doLoop;

hint "fn_doLoop is finished";

Other links that may or may not be helpful/related, but will still have useful information anyways :p:
