Could you please explain me a bit more why pawn can't execute other functions until the calculations are done?
I'm quite Newbie with this, is it because of it's threading method?

[Pharrel]

your computer can do only one operation at a time... so when you do a loop... until the computer is looping he cant do anithing else...

i'm brazilian...i hope u understand

@edit a loop usually takes less then 1 sec but if you do some huge thing in the loop like save 500 accounts... this can take more than seconds to finish

I guess if you call a function that sends a message to every player online and there's 500 players online and it takes 5 seconds to send it to each player, it's gonna take 500 x 5 seconds, and then if you call another function after 10 seconds, it won't execute.. because the first function hasn't finished. Understand that?

I assume these are some basic explanations. And Yeah I understand both of them.

Is there anyone else having more detailed ones?

Pawn is single threaded, meaning it can only do one thing at a time. Execute a function, then sync the players, the execute another function and sync the players again ... It can't execute a function while it's syncing, for example.
