Hi All,

Is there any fucntions that would allow to process a heavy load seperatly, without blocking the main proccessing thread?

I need to process a file with an avarage of 3 - 10+ Megabytes each second. Data is being prepared but still needs to be processed without blocking.

So is there anything?
Some threaded call backs?
Something backgroud threaded? Task.Create -?.
C++ extensions, is it possible?
Native plugin?
Exposing filedata as a service -> async request?

ty!

Hi!

This is a limitation within SourcePawn's virtual machine. We cannot call into SP from another thread, so this is not currently possible.

If you can, you could chunk the task on something like a repeating timer and only process N amount of data each game frame. Upon completion, and you have all the data parsed in, you'd be able to do what you need with it.
