I was wondering if there is any function to pause the script for a few seconds.

Example:
LUA: 
doCreatureSay(cid, 'Wait 1 second.', TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)
superWaitFunction(1000)
doCreatureSay(cid, 'Ok!', TALKTYPE_ORANGE_1)

I already tried wait(), but it doesn't work. I don't even know if it's a valid function.

But that won't work with north direction (i think), use i - 1 (for direction north = 0)

not rly, getCreatureLookDirection picks 0 if is north before the iterator begins, but maybe the iterator is picking a wrong magic effect xP
LUA: 
addEvent(doCombat, 500*i, cid, dir[getCreatureLookDirection(cid)][i], var)

Is this possible? (like, making this script)
