Hello everybody

I've a question, which is:

Can someone make a function that delays another function for about 3 seconds?

And how do you make custom functions, so not the prefab functions, described in the Script Documentation, but a custom function like one does in Javascript.

I really need it, but i can't think of anything that really works.

Thx in advance.
Mike

Try using the AddTimer function and OnTimer() event for the delay.

Custom functions? Do you mean like this?

code:

---

function myFunctionName(Param1,Param2){
...
...
...
}

---

To call the function:

code:

---

myFunctionName("Param1 Value","Param2 Value");

---

Hope this is what you wanted

Thx alot, i needed this

To add a timer you can use this code to start the timer:

code:

---

MsgPlus.AddTimer("atimername", 1000)

---

And then this code to find when the timer's time interval is reached.

code:

---

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId) {
     if (TimerId == "atimername") {
          //Timer interval has been met.
     }
}

---

If you want to make the timer run just once then you can use:
MsgPlus.CancelTimer("atimerid") after you code in the OnEvent_Timer function above (Just after comment).

Alternatively if you want to make your program goto sleep using a Sleep() Sleep Function
But it will not let you use WLM whilst it is sleeping.

Thx, but now i have this script:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("yoyo", 1000)
   
   
   
   
    if (Message == "=D")
    {
       
        ChatWnd.SendMessage(":')");
       
        function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
                {
                         if (TimerId == "yoyo")
                          {
                          ChatWnd.SendMessage("jeej");
                        //Timer interval has been met.
                         }
                }
       
    }
}   

---

But the timer won't work. I don't get it.
(Srry for tree, but the code tags filters tabs )

Why have you put OnEvent_Timer() inside the other function? Put it outside.

You mean like this? :

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("yoyo", 1000)
   
    function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
        {
                 if (TimerId == "yoyo")
                 {
                  ChatWnd.SendMessage("jeej");
                //Timer interval has been met.
                 }
        }
   
   
    if (Message == "=D")
    {
       
        ChatWnd.SendMessage(":')");
    }
}

(Srry, but im yet a noob with this stuff )

This script won't work either.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind)
{
    MsgPlus.AddTimer("yoyo", 1000)
    if (Message == "=D") {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage(":')");
    }
}

function OnEvent_Timer(TimerId)
        {
    if (TimerId == "yoyo") {
        ChatWnd.SendMessage("jeej");
    }
        }

Im getting an error which says "ChatWnd.SendMessage" is not defined....

That's because there's no way at the moment for OnEvent_Timer() to know which chat window it's using.

All I did was move code around so functions were written properly.
