Delay between Python Code

[OnlyGood]

How can i make a simple sleep function with python, without freezing the metin client?

Does the following method make it freeze?

from time import sleep

sleep(x)

x = sleep time in seconds

yes, sleep makes it freeze

My recommendation here is to create a new window, inherit from ui.ScriptWindow and then overwrite the OnUpdate method, this particular function will be run by the engine for every logic update cycle, you can leverage this to be used like a thread.

Either use a thread from threading module or use the mainloop of OnRender or OnUpdate like martinx1 said, but there you have to simulate the "sleep logic" by checking the current time(stamp).

OnlyGood, try your function link with Thread

I wouldn't advise on using the threading module. The game was desgined to be single thread, if you spawn another thread you might run into race conditions and thus get random crashes.

Its not possible to set a time.sleep(delay) without crash or freezing?

then i can prefer only this solution:

if app.GetTime() < timeyouwant:
               code the part when the timer is running
else
            after timer stopped

or

def SetSleepFunction(self, time):
	self.function_sleep_time = app.GetGlobalTimeStamp() + time
    
def OnUpdate(self):
	if self.function_sleep_time and self.function_sleep_time < app.GetGlobalTimeStamp():
		self.function_sleep_time = None
        	# Your action

Its from another Forum, because the most People have Problems with them.
