Code:

function CEButton1Click(sender)
if openProcess("WindowsEntryPoint.Windows.exe")then
CETrainer.CEPanel1.Caption="Starting"
autoAssemble([[
globalalloc(Headshots,4)
globalalloc(Kills,4)
globalalloc(Kill_Streak,4)
globalalloc(Drones_Disabled,4)
mov [Headshots],0
mov [Kills],0
mov [Kill_Streak],0
mov [Drones_Disabled],0
]])
local clock = os.clock
function sleep(n)
  n = 2
  local t0 = clock()
  while clock() - t0 <= n do end
end
CETrainer.CEButton1.Visible = false
CETrainer.CEPanel1.Visible = false
else
CETrainer.CEPanel1.Caption="Game Not Found"
end
end


for some reason the sleep function kicks in before the set caption and I think also the auto assemble. why is it doing that?

what is meant to happen is, after pressing the button it would set the caption to starting then allocate all the stuff and then only pause for 2 seconds but instead it does it from bottom to top, pause, alloc, caption. How do I fix this?

Your call to autoAssemble fails because you have random instructions put in the middle of the script. I'm pretty sure you meant to do this:
Code:
globalalloc(Headshots,4)
globalalloc(Kills,4)
globalalloc(Kill_Streak,4)
globalalloc(Drones_Disabled,4)

Headshots:
  dd 0
Kills:
  dd 0
Kill_Streak:
  dd 0
Drones_Disabled:
  dd 0


You're not calling that sleep function: you're defining it. Also, CE already has a sleep function. I doubt you need the resolution a busy wait offers (if the resolution of os.clock is even good enough, which I also doubt).

You can call CE's sleep function like this:
Code:
sleep(2000)  -- sleep for 2000 ms (2 seconds)

the function sleep never even gets called

anyhow, I think you should call CETrainer.CEPanel1.repaint() and CETrainer.repaint() inbetween pauses else the gui will only update after the function has returned
