why would you ever want to while loop to pause your code just pass a function and get the function which handles the timer to call it when it is up and you can use closures to pass variables

eg

code:

---

var callback;
function myCode(arg1){
    //do stuff
   
    //oh noes now i need to sleep to wait for a value
   
    //function to call when timer is up
   
    function returnCallback(arg1){
        function callback(arg){
            return arg1 * arg;
        }
    return callback;
    }
    callback = returnCallback(5);
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("MyTimer",5000);
   
}



function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId){
    if(TimerId == "MyTimer"){
    //it should show the result of 5*5
    Debug.Trace(callback(5));
    }
}
