Sleep command?

[Choicerer]

Is there any way to pause the execution of code without pausing the game?

[octalot]

When do you want the next bit of code to run? What happens if the player moves units while the code is paused, will you still want the next bit of code to run?

[Choicerer]

Yes, I do. I want a pause of a couple of seconds.
Oh, and my Wesnoth build is the stable one.

[Xara]

Is [delay] what you want?

[Choicerer]

Nope, delay pauses the game. I only want to pause the execution of a given bit of code.

[Choicerer]

I got an idea to use time stamps during every select event, does anyone have any better idea?

[Ravana]

Depending on what you want to do, something like showing animation might work.

[Choicerer]

Great idea, thank you! But can you animate hidden units?
