sleep() like function

[phao]

is there a sleep(seconds) function?

like

Code: Select all

/* command registration .. bla bla bl */
command_TST(socket, cmdstr) {
sleep(2);
BroadcastMessage("tst ok");
}

so when you use 'tst it'll wait 2 seconds before printing that message using broadcast.

You can use the OnTimer() function, it dosen't delay the effects in seconds, but rather my miliseconds, so you would be at 2000 instead of 2.

Check out the healing.js and various other "timed delay" scripts. The OnTimer function is used to delay healing from bandages, cure poison, etc.

Also, given that the scripting engine runs in the same thread, you don't want a sleep function. Not unless you want the whole server to sleep for 2 seconds

Stranf's suggestion is best, fire off a 2 second timer and resume from there.
