How do I do a wait in lua?

function wait(seconds)
local start = os.time()
repeat until os.time() > start + seconds
end
--USE IT LIKE ROBLOX
--Maybe roblox didnt want you to custimize time function because IO and OS function is very powerful
--hacker can use io.open() to create a backdoor script

There's no wait statement in Lua, and you cant make it. So yeah, rip

Roblox's variant of Lua, 'Luau', can use the `wait()` function.

This Lua 5.4 solution is similar to the previous solution, but I've included a simple but complete sample program to run it:

local user_input = ""
local q<const> = "q" 
print("Press <q> to exit..") 
while string.lower(user_input) ~= q do
  io.write("> ")
  user_input = io.read()
  if user_input == "" then 
  else print ("> You wrote '".. user_input .."'")
  end -- if
end -- while
print("> Goodbye!")

local clock = os.clock
function sleep(n)
local t0 = clock()
while clock() - t0 <= n do end
end
--
sleep(2) -- 2 second delay before closing program
