Procs together

The code below is just a test, somethign i tried because i wanted to run 2 Procs at the same time, independantly. WHat I did below ran them one after another. The idea was to see if the text would show up in between each other, that would show that they are running at the same time, but instead it was seperate when I ran the verb.
How can I run 2 procs starting at the same time?
mob
    verb/RunningProcs()
        run1()
        run2()

    proc/run1()
        usr<<"Run1"
        sleep(20)
        usr<<"Run1.1"
        sleep(20)
        usr<<"Run1.2"
    
    
    proc/run2()
        usr<<"Run2"
        sleep(10)
        usr<<"Run2.1"
        sleep(10)
        usr<<"Run2.2"
        sleep(10)
        usr<<"Run2.3"
        sleep(10)
        usr<<"Run2.4"

I think you can use spawn(). I am not sure.

mob/verb/runprocedure()
    src.run1()
    src.run2()

mob/proc
    run1()
        src<<"Run1"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run1.1"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run1.2"

    run2()
        src<<"Run2"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run2.1"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run2.2"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run2.3"
        spawn(10) src<<"Run2.4"


Sleep won't work because it halts the procedure until the time is up, then continues. That is why run1() and run2() aren't going at the same time, but with the spawn procedure, it should work fine. Good luck. :)

you just need to use spawn() in RunningProcs. Using sleep in run1() and run2() is fine. spawn() run1() will call run1(), but it will also continue executing code. it won't wait for run1 to finish before calling run2()

I suppose we learn something new every day. :/
