wierd or stupid problem

[chutem]

I was reading some more pascal tuts when I noticed one of the examples had a line that said
delay(10)
So I tried to make a script to test it:

Code: [Select]

OnPlayerCommand(ID: Byte; Text: string): boolean;
begin
if text = '/delaytest' then begin
result:=false
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF)
delay(10)
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF)
delay(20)
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF)
delay(50)
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF)
delay(100)
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF)
delay(250)
WriteConsole(ID,'.',$FFFFFFFF);
end;
end;
And true to my scripting abilities, it didn't work.

The problem is the 'BEGIN' expected  one, but the strange thing is I get the same message with this:

Code: [Select]

OnPlayerCommand(ID: Byte; Text: string): boolean;
begin
end;
And this:

Code: [Select]

OnPlayerCommand(ID: Byte; Text: string): boolean;
begin
         result:=false
        end;even many different positions of semicolons
Wierd?, No?, well I think it is.

Solutions, please.

1) you're missing "function" in front of OnPlayerCommand(
2) you're missing a semicolon after delay(10) , but it doesn't make any difference, since
3) there is no such thing as delay() in the scriptcore afaik
4) there's sleep() , but it pauses the whole script, so it's not recommended to use it

oh, ok thanks.

I was actually seeing if there was such thing as delay, so if an error message came up like 'delay not recognized', I would know, because I thought delay could be an alternative to sleep, as it might not pause the whole script. Which would be good.
