And here comes the problem: the engine executes WhileLoop #1 properly, but doesn't wait 2 seconds for "#2" and executes it every frame instead! here is a code which examinates this: Code: function shooting() { while(1)// this is while loop #2 { create_bullet(); wait(-2); } } action npc() { while(1) //this is while loop #1 { //do some stuff constantly shooting(); //THIS little function is executed every frame instead of 2 sec interval >: ( wait(1); } } So how can I manage to execute properly while loop with 2 sec wait() time inside a while loop with 1 frame wait time?
