User-Defined Delays?

for(int counter=0; counter<4; counter++)
{
Waitframe();
}

?

or Waitframes(n); where n is the frames to wait, will work fine. And if you only want it to wait 60 frames every 10 seconds then something like;

if (delay>0)delay--;
else{Waitframes(60); delay=600;}

would be easiest.

ffc script customdelay{
	void run(int delay){
		while(true){
			//code goes here
		Waitframes(delay);
		}
	}
}

How many scripters does it take to screw in a light bulb?

.....

...well I can't think of a good punchline, but something referring to increment and decrement is probably gold.

Five: One to screw in the lightbulb, and four to request that Link->Screw be implemented in the next build....😃

3 apparently Gleeok =P

It's better to get 3 help than no help =P

I've tried the whole waitframe(n) thingie, but it never seems to work. (Maybe I miss-typed it or something, I'll try it again.) Thanks for the help everyone! 😃

Make sure you have

import "std.zh"

Also, caplital 'W' for Waitframe();.

And for Waitframes(n);.

Also note that Waitframe() and Waitframes(int frames) won't work in item scripts.

Waitframe() waits a single frame and does not require any argument. Waitframes(int frames) waits the specified number of frames. Joe123's example above is a good starting point for what you want to do, as it allows you to pass in the number of frames to delay (set this up using the Arguments tab in the Freeform Combo editor, assuming you're attaching this script to a freeform combo).
