Pause / Sleep function? - DaneAMattie - 18.08.2010

Is there any sleep or pause function

So this function lets the code pause / sleep for a matter of time example:

SendClientMessage(1,COLOR_RED,"WIEEEEEE");
Pause(1000); //1000 ms
SendClientMessage(1,COLOR_REd,"1 second has passed")

and no i dont want to use timers :P

Good work as always by ******.

I have no idea if it works, just wrote it:

pawn Код:

new reset = 0;

public Pause(millis)
{    
    SetTimer("PauseReset", millis, 0)
    while(!pause) {}
}

public PauseReset()
{
    reset = 1;
}

Hmm, looks as this would make the server lag in the 'while' but was just a short idea.

Thanks for all reply's, but is there any other way to do this?

and i wont use a timer becauze its irritating for just a pause function + lagging the servr

pawn Код:

FuncPart1()
{
    printf("my code");
    SetTimer("FuncPart2", 1000, 0);
}

public FuncPart2()
{
    printf("My other code");
}

yea i know how the timer works, but isnt there just a simple function like sleep(1000); becuz it kinda sux, im having a timer with a code and in that timer i need a sleep function

Re: Pause / Sleep function? - wups - 18.08.2010

i think this can be done with macros

Another idea (but dont blame me again, if it is nonsense, i have no big plugin experience): C should support a native sleep function afaik. Maybe it would be possible to create a pause-plugin, meaning, you create a native pawn function, that calls sleep in C.

I just tested it: Lags the server like while(). So it seems to be impossible with pawn, it blocks the server if a functions runs too long.
