In our program, we are concerned about reducing CPU work; how to wait until a boolean condition changes in a "while loop"?

[mcdesm]

Is there a way to wait until a boolean condition changes (instruction is sent) in a "while loop" (because I want the program run until I press exit button)? Now it is consuming a lot of CPU because it is running the loop very fast waiting for instructions unless I stop the program.

Thank you.

If you don't have a small wait function inside of your while loop, put one in and watch your CPU usage drop way down.

A Wait of about 100 ms is more than what you need to monitor the WHILE loop.

Use /functions/time and dialog/wait until next millisecond multiple in the
loop. Input 100ms.
