task.synchronize / task.desynchronize

Compatibility no-ops that return immediately.

Syntax

task.synchronize() -> nil
task.desynchronize() -> nil

Parameters

This function takes no parameters.

Returns

Description

Scripts in the external VM run on one Lua state, so there is no parallel executor phase to switch into or out of.

Both functions are provided so defensive Luau scripts that wrap parallel work do not error on load.

Example

task.synchronize()
print("still running on the script thread")
task.desynchronize()

Notes

• task.spawn — Still yields to a new coroutine; see the task library pages.
