I've always had this trouble and I hope someone could help me here.

I got this simple teleport script:

local temple = {x = 1006, y = 999, z = 7}
shops = {x = 1025, y = 985, z = 7}
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos, fromPos)
	if item.itemid == 3188 then
		doTeleportThing(cid, shops) 
		doSendMagicEffect(shops, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	elseif item.itemid == 3196 then 
		doTeleportThing(cid, temple) 
		doSendMagicEffect(temple, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	end
end

Now, I want it to have to wait x time, before teleporting, example: You step in the tile then after 3 seconds you teleport, and maybe send some effect after each second that passes.

So I'll get something like :

local temple = {x = 1006, y = 999, z = 7}
shops = {x = 1025, y = 985, z = 7}
function onStepIn(cid, item, pos, fromPos)
	if item.itemid == 3188 then
		passSecond()
		doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
		passSecond()
		doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
		passSecond()
		doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
		doTeleportThing(cid, shops) 
		doSendMagicEffect(shops, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	elseif item.itemid == 3196 then 
		doTeleportThing(cid, temple) 
		doSendMagicEffect(temple, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	end
end

I hope you get what I mean , thanks in advance.

local temple = {x = 1006, y = 999, z = 7}
shops = {x = 1025, y = 985, z = 7}

_doSendMagicEffect = function (cid, effect)
	return isCreature(cid) and doSendMagicEffect(getThingPos(cid), effect)
end


function onStepIn(cid, item, position, lastPosition, fromPosition, toPosition, actor)
	if item.itemid == 3188 then
		createThread(function()
			wait(1000)
			_doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
			wait(1000)
			_doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
			wait(1000)
			_doSendMagicEffect(cid, CONST_ME_POFF)
			return isCreature(cid) and doTeleportThing(cid, shops), doSendMagicEffect(shops, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
		end)
	elseif item.itemid == 3196 then 
		doTeleportThing(cid, temple) 
		doSendMagicEffect(temple, CONST_ME_MAGIC_GREEN)
	end
end

if you get an event error, you'll have to fix your couroutine lib(data\lib\002-wait.lua) like I had to do with my 0.3.6
change

function runThread(co)
    if(coroutine.status(co) ~= 'dead') then
        local _, delay = coroutine.resume(co)
        addEvent(continueThread, delay, co)
    end
end

to

function runThread(co)
    if(coroutine.status(co) ~= 'dead') then
        local _, delay = coroutine.resume(co)
        addEvent(runThread, delay, co)
    end
end
