Parallel threads

[sasinosoft 0]

In regular FiveM BaseScripts you can create multiple game tick threads simply by creating different `Tick` event handlers:

 

// Somewhere in constructor
Tick += OnTick1;
Tick += OnTick2;
Tick += OnTick3;

// Somewhere else in the BaseScript derived class
private async Task OnTick1()
{
  await BaseScript.Delay(0); // every tick
  if (IsControlJustPressed(2, 51)) // something that needs to be executed every single tick to work correctly
  {
  }
}

private async Task OnTick2()
{
  await BaseScript.Delay(100); // every 100 ms
  foreach (var ped in peds) // something that's not necessary to execute every tick
  {
    ped.Task.ClearAll();
  }
}

private async Task OnTick3()
{
  await BaseScript.Delay(500); // every 500 ms
  foreach (var ped in peds) // something that's better not to execute too often because it's computationally expensive
  {
    var v = GetEntityCoords(ped);
    var dist = v.DistanceToSquared(y);
    // ..
  }
}

 

However, in a FivePD Callout, handling the Tick event with 3 different handlers, will just make them execute one after the other... So basically, the game will wait for OnTick1 to end before doing OnTick2, and wait for OnTick2 to end before doing OnTick3, which in the example aboves, breaks the IsControlJustPressed check.
