@ -190,18 +190,7 @@ Will call `func(...)` after at least `time` seconds have passed.
TIP: Use `minetest.after(0, func)` to immediately do load-time stuff that is only possible at run-time, or to schedule something for the next server step.
[NOTE]
.Order of execution
====
Scheduled calls happen in reverse insertion order. This "defers" calls to `minetest.after` from within a callback until the next server step. Examples:
[source,lua]
----
minetest.after(0, error, "first")
minetest.after(0, error, "second")
----
This script will error with `second` after the first server step,
as the callbacks that are scheduled to run in the same server step are processed in reverse order.
CAUTION: Scheduled calls that run in the same server step are executed in no particular order.
The following snippet emulates a globalstep, sending `Hello World!` to chat every server step:
