Solved How to make delay between actions

[Nutaharion]

Hi everybody,

I need help with making a delay between 2 actions. First is that item appear and after one second it dissapear.

And i don't know what to add between doCreate and doRemove to work it correctly :-(

function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
		doCreateItem(2160, {x=984, y=1148, z=7})
		doRemoveItem(getThingfromPos({x=984, y=1148, z=7, stackpos=1}).uid, 1)
	return true
end

use addEvent, ex:

addEvent(doRemoveItem, 1000, getThingFromPos(...).uid, 1)

or

addEvent(function() doRemoveItem(...) end, 1000)

?

I really don't know how to use addEvent ;-D

I wrote sth like this, but don't working.

function time()
end
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
		doCreateItem(2160, {x=984, y=1148, z=7})
		addEvent(time, 1000)
		doRemoveItem(getThingfromPos({x=984, y=1148, z=7, stackpos=1}).uid, 1)
	return true
end

... I gave you 2 examples, anyways try this:

function onStepIn(cid, item, pos)
	doCreateItem(2160, {x=984, y=1148, z=7})
	addEvent(function() doRemoveItem(getThingfromPos({x=984, y=1148, z=7, stackpos=1}).uid, 1) print('item removed') end, 1000)
	return true
end

No I understand how addEvent works
Thanks for give me a example.

///Everything works great! Thanks!

The thing you were trying to do (your 2nd post), addEvent doesn't block, if you're a c coder and thought of addEvent as in C's sleep() then no, it doesn't work like that, I would suggest looking at how TFS's Dispatcher & Scheduler work.
