Lua Use addEvent properly with loops

[tarjei]

Making this function like this you made a live a bit easier, again
Any way I'm curious if that will work with ObjectOrientated function, like this from npc system
Anyway you are making short, very usefull and advenced stuff. You are my HERO

Damn...I wanted this to remain forgotten until I released my "jail script with countdown resume in case the player logs out with no loops whatsoever". Oh well...for scripters out there: this addEvent trick is really, REALLY useful.
Just a preview of my code:

function doCreatureSetCountdown(uid, key, time, delay)
	doCreatureSetStorage(uid, key, time)
	if(getCreatureStorage(uid, key) > 0) then
		addEvent(function(uid, key, time)
			if(isPlayer(uid) and getCreatureStorage(uid, key) > 0) then
				doCreatureSetCountdown(uid, key, time, delay)
			end
		end, delay, uid, key, time - 1, delay)
	end

	return true
end

That continue function is awesome! This should be recognized.

actually I prefer it this way(for multiple loops), but i*delay looks great too

delay = 500
for a = 1, 10 do
for b = 1, 20 do
addEvent(print, delay, a.." "..b)
delay = delay + 500
end
end
