Atomic Repeats

Most of us have hated that little lag built into repeats whenever we made single-frame projects. Well, I have a solution. When you right-click a repeat, it should give an option called 'make atomic' That would delete the lag.

Re: Atomic Repeats

Isn't atomic usually used to define a section of code as a single operation that either is or isn't executed? (IE not halfway then stopped) Either way, this is a good idea. I hate the delay when working with operations that require raw speed.

Re: Atomic Repeats

I support because when I was making a project of mine I found it impractical: namely the repeat function was useless because of the lag and listing the entire part of the script I wanted to repeat made the programme laggy (I was hoping to repeat a part of the script more than 100 times).

In the end I had to scrap my project because of these issues but i would like to see them resolved so i can finish it.
