How do I make a while loop pause

[Lando The Climber]

I need a while loop to wait 1 second between each time it runs, I tried

Code: [Select]

wait(1); but that didn't work, Anyone?

your best bet is just schedules that adds one second onto the time each iteration i think

edit:

ie

Code: [Select]

for(%i = 1; (statement); %i++)
{
//do stuff maybe
schedule(1000 * %i, 0, thingy);
}

function thingy()
{
//stuff you wanted to do
}

Torque doesn't like to hang.  If it does, it will not let anything else run during that time, and that is a generally bad thing.

I hope I am using the term "hang" correctly.

The proper term is deadlock.

try making a new function with schedules with an if inside for stopping?
sorta like

Code: [Select]

$stop = 0;
function quack()
{
  if($stop == 1)
    return;
  commandtoserver('messagesent', "quack");
  schedule(1000, 0, quack);
}
set $stop to 1 to stop,
or

Code: [Select]

function quack()
{
  cancel($quack);
  commandtoserver('messagesent', "quack");
  $quack = schedule(1000, 0, quack);
}
and use cancel($quack) to stop
