I would like to delay something in the code

I created a script call when a player presses a key. Now I would like to prevent that from being called again until a certain amount of time has passed. Not sure how to do that.

Create trigger (in the game editor) with name allowKey.

In the init field of this trigger write:

this execVM "yourScriptName.sqf";

Then create LUKI_time.sqf script and paste in this code:

_time = _this select 0;
allowKey = FALSE;

while { _time > 0 } do {
_time = _time - 1;

if ( _time == 0 ) exitWith {
hint "You can press the key again ...";
allowKey = TRUE;
 };

 sleep 60;
};

And you can call (for the example in the init.sqf) the script via this line:

[[color=#b22222][b][i]time (in minutes)[/i][/b][/color]] execVM "LUKI_time.sqf";

Thanks, that is an elegant script.

No problem, I'm glad to help you.
