For example:

Code:

sleep(1000) -- in miliseconds

Thanks

yes

Code:

sleep(milliseconds)

will pause the thread executing that command for the specified number of milliseconds

Keep in mind that the main gui thread tends to be the one executing the code when you execute it from the gui, so it will cause a freeze for the specified amount of time.

If you don't want that freeze try a timer instead

Thanks, but I tried

Code:

sleep(1000) print("asdf")

It didn't pause, and immediately printed "asdf" without waiting.

Code:

sleep(5000); print(1)

Erm, it does wait.
1 seconds is bit too fast?

Oh, it does wait. I guess I was doing something wrong. Thanks
