Timer

[Thewood1]

Is there an efficient way to create a time that doesn't throw the game into busy/wait mode?

Also, is there a sleep function in Lua...I couldn't see one without some kind of library extension.

As far as I know there isn't an easy way to make a timer using a lua script inside of Command. Any 'sleep' command would simply freeze command for the designated amount of time.

One possibility is to set up a 'tick' event, that ticks every second (or whatever internal), and set up a data structure that counts down using that tick event.
