Equivelent of Settimer?

[lbrtdy]

So far I know there's a thing called adlibenable() that runs a function every so often, but this pauses the rest of the script while it's running. Is there a equivalent of this but doesn't pause the script? Kind of like the SetTimer in autohotkey.

SetTimer in AutoHotKey pauses the script that called it:

Although timers may give the illusion that the script is performing more than one task simultaneously, this is not the case.

You can have the main script launch a child.
