waitUntil suspends both SQF functions and SQF scripts. In functions, the calling script is still in suspension due to waiting for a return from the call command. The game engine will continue, however. See Function for more detail.

If WaitUntil uses an undefined call code, WaitUntil won't release, even when this code is separated from other conditions through or. Be warned that this won't cause an error message.

By default the cycle time for the condition check is per frame. Look at the example 3, how to set it at a lower rate yourself. Often times one does not need per frame checking. Saves a lot CPU checks; especially when the condition is complex to compute.
