Is there a sleep/delay function

[phimo]

Hey folks

I did not find a solution to let my script wait for a specified time period.
The only way I achieved it is pretty bad, because its busy wait.

function Functions:Sleep(d)
    local start = Turbine.Engine.GetGameTime();
    while Turbine.Engine.GetGameTime() < start + (d/1000) do
        --nothing
    end
end

This is not really nice

Hopefully some more advanced lua scripters out there may have a solution

Use the Update event handler.

Set the trigger time before enabling WantsUpdates, then in the Update handler check if the time has been reached, if the time has been reached, turn off WantsUpdates (so you don't waste cpu time when unneeded) and process whatever needs to be done.
