Use asynchronous script reloading

this is already supported though it is still beta. you can turn it on in the config

It's very unstable, though. Not like FAWE - it does not have a risk of corrupting your world - but Skript might crash.

This shouldn't have been closed because this really isn't "already supported". Perhaps there's another issue for it but there are a number of issues with the current implementation:

1. Unstable af like bensku said. It does seem to work ok for me in basic tests but I really haven't gotten that far into it.
2. I get log handler errors when reloading any scripts while the server is already running with async loading enabled. This is very likely a skript-mirror issue but it's worth mentioning.
3. The biggest issue of all: a lot of people control a lot of very important stuff with scripts so we can't afford to have the server actively running while the scripts load -- what we really need is async script RELOADING, not loading, and it should be a separate config option. You'll also note, if you re-read the title, that that's is what this issue is actually asking for. I've tested reloading scripts with async loading enabled and it seems to freeze the server all the same as without it enabled. I can take the +1 minute restart time, it's those regular multi-second hard freezes while the server is active that are the real killer.

Reloading should be asynchronous too, unless it got broken relatively recently. However, some tasks need to be done in server thread due to Bukkit.

how I do turn it on?

Put asynchronous script loading: true in your config somewhere. Feel free to test and report back but I wouldn't use it on a live server yet.

Yeah sure @TheBentoBox

[Matocolotoe]

That would be awesome if it was stable
