Lua Afk Status

[Aleada]

Heya everyone, I'm trying to make a script that indicates you're afk when you declare it. It will also show the message you want to display every interval on the specified time:

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
local interval = 5
local words = ""
local pos = getPlayerPosition(cid)

    if(param == '') then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Why are you going AFK?")
        return true
    elseif(param == 'off') then
        if (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876) == 1) then
            doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "I'm back!", 200)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876, 0)
        else
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You weren't ever AFK")
        end
    else
        if (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876) == 0) then
            words = param
            doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "Brb!", 200)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876, 1)
        else
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You are already AFK")
        end
    end
   
    while (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876) == 1) do
        doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), words, 200)
        pause(time*1000)
    end
    return true
end

The only thing is at line 28, I don't know how to make a wait/pause in LUA :/
If anyone can help, that'd be great! Thank you!

i'm feeling sleepy right now , but i can give you an afk script and you should compare

local time = 3 -- Seconds
local say_events = {}
local function SayText(cid)
    if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then
        if say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] ~= nil then
            if isPlayer(cid) == TRUE then
                doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid),"AFK", math.random(01,255))
            end
            say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] = addEvent(SayText, time * 1000 / 2, cid)     
        end                                                     
    end
    return TRUE
end
local storage = 38417
function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
local afkCheck = getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage)
    if(param == "") then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Command param required.")
    return TRUE
    end
    if (param == "on") then
        if (afkCheck == -1) then
            if (isPlayer(cid) == TRUE) then
                doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid),"AFK", math.random(01,255))
            end
            say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] = addEvent(SayText, time * 1000, cid)
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, "You are now AFK.")
            doCreatureSetNoMove(cid, true)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
        else
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You are already AFK.")
        end
    elseif (param == "off") then
        stopEvent(say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)])
        say_events[getPlayerGUID(cid)] = nil
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, "Welcome Back!")
        doCreatureSetNoMove(cid, false)
        setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, -1)
    end
    return TRUE
end

Yeah that's the one I'm trying to base it off of just re-write it but with the "addevent" I couldn't get it to pass the "words/param" over :/

------------ Edit --------------

Woot! Thank you! I figured it out!
Here's the code if anyone wants to use it

local interval = 5
local array = {}

local function AfkText(cid)
    if array[1] ~= nil then
        doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), array[2] , math.random(175,215))
        array[1] = addEvent(AfkText, interval * 1000, cid)  
    end
end

function onSay(cid, words, param, channel)
    if(param == '') then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Include AFK Reason")
        return true
    elseif(param == 'off') then
        if (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876) == 1) then
            doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "I'm back!", 200)
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Welcome back")
            stopEvent(array[1])
            array[1] = nil
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876, 0)
        else
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You weren't ever AFK")
        end
    else
        if (getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876) == 0) then
            array[2] = param
            doSendAnimatedText(getPlayerPosition(cid), "Brb!", 200)
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "AFK Reason: " .. array[2])
            array[1] = addEvent(AfkText, interval * 1000 / 2, cid)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 9876, 1)
        else
            doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "You are already AFK")
        end
    end
    return true
end

I'll still have to change it up but it still works
