Serverside Sleeping

[blackbeltben]

How can I make a working sleep/Timer in a script with out using Timeouts/schedule events to change a value you twice in a script?

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside()
{
 blah
 blah
 player.clientr.testvalue = 0
blah
sleep(5);   <--I thought this would work but no :(
 player.clientr.testvalue = 1;

Why can't you use schedule event?

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() {
  blah();
  blah();
  clientr.testvalue = 0;
  this.scheduleevent(5, "ChangeTestValue", player.account);
}

function onChangeTestValue(pl) {
  pl = findplayer(pl);
  if (pl != NULL) { 
    pl.clientr.testvalue = 1;
  }
}

  pl = findplayer(pl);
  if (pl != NULL) { 
    pl.clientr.testvalue = 1;
  }
} 


Even better:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerSide() { 
  blah(); 
  blah(); 
  clientr.testvalue = 0; 
  this.scheduleevent(5, "ChangeTestValue", player); // send the player object instead of the account
} 

function onChangeTestValue(pl) { 
  if (pl != NULL) {  
    pl.clientr.testvalue = 1; 
  } 
}
