Sleep between commands...

Hi there

How can I make the script pause/sleep 250 millisecods between two commands, like this:

putserv "NOTICE $nick :First message"
#sleep 250 ms
putserv "NOTICE $nick :Second message"

If it is only possible to sleep onde second or more, say it, it might help.

Regards,
TRiLoGY

i'm gathering information from a mysql table and it sends the messages to some members, but i don't want to send all messages imediatly, i want to pause betwen them, so the won't get banned by flood

i think he wants to use ms instead of seconds you can do this using after

Code: Select all

after 250 mycommand

then use update somewhere in a while.. to call back on it ..

or just add

Code: Select all

after 250

and it will block for 250 ms, but remember it will block everything

no need for [update], eggdrop maintains the Tcl event loop on its own, this is not tclsh (and I think we have already discussed that some time ago
