[Include] Sleep v1.0

[sabretur]

Sleep v1.0

Description
This include freezes the script for some time.
Example
Example of script:

#include <a_samp>
#include <sleep>

main()
{
    new count = GetTickCount();
    Sleep(5000);
    printf("Time expired in %d milliseconds",count);
}

Will print:

Time expired in 5000 milliseconds

Usage
Firstly, move sleep.inc file into your Pawno includes folder.
Then, add this at the top of your script:

#include <sleep>

To make this function work, you must set expiry time in milliseconds (1 second = 1000 miliseconds).

I hope you find this useful.

Nothing useful - will just freeze your server, no updates, nothing. You could have posted this in the Useful Snippet topic though.

There's already a sleep function.

How is something useless a good job? I think we have very different definitions of the word "good"...

h02 already pointed you to the main topic on this, but I will point you to a specific post inside that topic that covers the theory behind a "sleep" function that could work:

I've never implemented it because I've never thought of a good way to implement returns nicely (although I have just come up with another idea for that using a special return value "cellmin"). Or I could attempt to save, unwind, and restore the ENTIRE stack.
