Lua Time between 2 actions in one script (globalevents)

[Frostie]

Hey guys, i was wondering how to put time between 2 actions in one script like creating an item and remove it in like 2 seconds and add a new item

Like that?

local shutdownAtServerSave = false
local cleanMapAtServerSave = false

local function serverSave()
	if shutdownAtServerSave then
		Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_SHUTDOWN)
	else
		Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_NORMAL)
	end

	if cleanMapAtServerSave then
		cleanMap()
	end

	saveServer()
end

local function secondServerSaveWarning()
	broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in one minute. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
	addEvent(serverSave, 60000)
end

local function firstServerSaveWarning()
	broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in 3 minutes. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
	addEvent(secondServerSaveWarning, 120000)
end

function onTime(interval)
	broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in 5 minutes. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
	Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_STARTUP)
	addEvent(firstServerSaveWarning, 120000)
	return not shutdownAtServerSave
end

    if shutdownAtServerSave then
        Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_SHUTDOWN)
    else
        Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_NORMAL)
    end

    if cleanMapAtServerSave then
        cleanMap()
    end

    saveServer()
end

local function secondServerSaveWarning()
    broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in one minute. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
    addEvent(serverSave, 60000)
end

local function firstServerSaveWarning()
    broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in 3 minutes. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
    addEvent(secondServerSaveWarning, 120000)
end

function onTime(interval)
    broadcastMessage("Server is saving game in 5 minutes. Please go to a safe place.", MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING)
    Game.setGameState(GAME_STATE_STARTUP)
    addEvent(firstServerSaveWarning, 120000)
    return not shutdownAtServerSave
end

Not exactly i made this script±

local t = {
{2160, 1,  {x=805, y=817, z=7}, CONST_ME_TELEPORT}
}
function onThink(interval)
    local people = getOnlinePlayers()
    if #people == 0 then
        return true
    end

    for i = 1, #t do
        local v = t[i]
        doCreateItem(2486, 1, v[3])
        doSendMagicEffect(v[3], v[4])
    end
   
        for i = 1, #t do
        local v = t[i]
        if getItemDescriptions(2486) then
        doRemoveItem(cid)
        doCreateItem(13498, 1, v[3])
        doSendMagicEffect(v[3], v[4])
    end
    return true
    end
    return true
end

I want the 2 actions to apply in a different time like doCreateItem(2486, 1, v[3]) and after 2 seconds
if getItemDescriptions(2486) then
doRemoveItem(cid)
doCreateItem(13498, 1, v[3])

just use addEvent like:

addEvent(function()
--- something happens here
end, delay)

Delay is some time interval in MS, so if you want 2 seconds, write 2000 and that's it.
