How about: waitVblankStart(i)
where i = 1/60 second

i dont think that works it says attempt to call to global 'waitvblankstart' (a nil value'
if theres no wait value thats cool i just need a way so that when i say

if pad:cross() then
p=p+1
end

p doesnt equal like 40 by pressing x once

Oops it's screen.waitVblankStart()

Also, Lua is CASE sensitive, therefore you must write that function exactly as you see it here, with a lowercase wait, an upper case V, lowercase blank, and uppercase Start. Otherwise Lua will think you are trying to call some function waitvblankstart, which you have not defined.

Is there an equivalent of mod (%) in lua
