Possible to add a delay in a loop?

[strutZ]

Hey there,

So I'm just experimenting with loops and i was wondering if someone could help me with this? Idea is to continually say 'AFK' if storage value is = to 1 BUT i want a 3 second delay before it goes through the loop again so it doesnt spam. (Like animated text)

--CONFIG--
local afkactive = 808012 -- Assign a unsued storage
--END CONFIG--


function onSay(cid, words, param)
local player = Player(cid)
    while(player:getStorageValue(afkactive) == 1)
        do
        if player:getStorageValue(748596123) < os.time() then
            player:setStorageValue(748596123, os.time() + 3)
            player:say('AFK', TALKTYPE_MONSTER_SAY)
        end
    end
end

I got stuck a lot of time because I didn't realized I couldn't send player object as a parameter in addEvent, why that happens?

I have no idea, but sending objects in addEvent is a really bad design, if the object isn't there anymore the server would crash, that's why we send the Id and then we check if the creature still exists.
