“Broadcast (msg)” will send the broadcast and go on with the code. “Broadcast (msg) and wait” will only continue with the code once the code under the “when I receive (msg)” block is completely finished.

I hope this is helpful

“broadcast and wait” broadcasts a message, then waits until everything receiving it has finished running it's script
“broadcast” just broadcasts the message then immediately moves on.

Forum tips:
Don't title topics something like “HELP ME!!!”. It's not helpful, and won't get you as many responses.
Don't post in topics where the latest post is over ~2 months old, unless you have something critical to add. Especially in topics that are several years old- it isn't helpful, and is known as necroposting.
Don't post unrelated things in topics, including questions of your own. Make a new topic for your questions.
