task

Tasks: functions that run beside each other, each waiting when it likes.

task.spawn(f, ...)

Starts a function as a task of its own, right now, and carries on when it first waits or ends. Gives the task back.

task.defer(f, ...)

Starts a function as a task of its own once this task waits or ends, in the same step.

task.delay(seconds, f, ...)

Starts a function as a task of its own after that many seconds.

task.wait(seconds?)

The same as wait.

task.cancel(task)

Stops a task that is waiting. (A task ends itself with return.)
