Threads

[bule]

Is there a way to create, program, and run a seperate threads using LUA in APMS?

Although Lua does not have true multithreading, it does support "coroutines":

I've read about them, however, I'm searching for something similar to On Timer event...
So that part of my code can run concurrently with the chunk of code which calls it.

You could make the coroutine yield and resume on the timer... never tried it but a possibility.

I thought about that actually... will try it once!
