Delay command in a script?

#1 So you want to pause the entire engine?

#2 No. For instance, I want to start my animation.
Then, give 10000 milliseconds, and I want to pause it.

Using scripts.
Any thoughts?

#3 Scheduling stopThread() for 10k MS won't work?

#4 I have seen something like an object schedule that requires three parameters that I don't understand at all.

Is that the same? Could you explain a bit more? :)

#5 I think schedule() does what you want ;)
Use it like this...

%myObject.playThread(0, "myAnimation");

// start some function after 10 secs
schedule(10000,0, StopAnimation,%myObject);

// param1 would be the object
function StopAnimation(%param1)
{
   %param1.stopThread(0);
}

Another way to use schedule is this:

datablock StaticShapeData(FooObject)
{
   category = "Misc";
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/foo/bar.dts";
   isPlaying = 0;
};
...

%myFooObject.schedule(10000, stopAnimation);

function FooObject::stopAnimation(%this, %obj)
{
   %obj.stopThread(0);
}

Please not that I haven't tested anything of this, but it should give you the idea...

#6 Thanks alot mate!
