Wait. Wait! WAIT!! bah! Need a pause in your script? Former zMud users probably are familiar with #wait. It's a handy command. If you don't know, here's what it basically does... Somewhere in your script you want the process to pause for a length of time, then continue executing. Well MM doesn't have such a command, although it's been asked for a number of times. But MM DOES have the ability to do this, and it's simple, very simple. You need a couple vars, nothing important. One's for a time stamp, another is just for junk (temp). Then just a simple /while statement. /var {wtime} {0} /var {temp} {null} ...in the script where you want a pause just add the following: [previous command];/var {wtime} {@Time()};/while {@Math(@Time()-$wtime)<=5} {/var temp null};[continue on with commands] Because /while is like an if and a loop, the /while process will effectively "wait" for the given duration (in the above example for 5 seconds). Then the script will continue on. |
