Are we able to use multi threading in our scripts? I''m trying to convert myself from Java here….

There was talk about it before try searching for it.
From what I remember I don't think we do it, or gotta do it some ghetto way.

Nope, AFAIK you can't. However I haven't seen the ghetto rig.

Ummm Can you not create a plugin that takes a function as it's parameter and suspend it in a thread??

Like create a plugin with the thread class.. Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

static DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc(void* Function)
{
   while(true)
   {
      Function;
      Sleep(1000);
      }
   return 0;
}
   
__declspec( dllexport )  int WINAPI CreateThread()
{
   CreateThread(0, 0, ThreadProc, 0, 0, 0);
   return 0;
}

Convert that to pascal.. it should work.. It creates a thread that takes a function (simba function) and that function runs in the thread while simba does other shit since this would be a plugin..

The only catch is that you have no way to communicate with variables.

Haven't we been down this road already?

Unfortunately no:( But you can always do pesudo, and tbh, pesudo is good enough around here for most cases:P
