Re: Need Help With love.timer.sleep

You seem to have created two threads for the same issue. So I'll repost my same reply here: Use a Timer library like Cron. Don't use love.timer.sleep or os.execute. They don't do what you think they do. If you use cron, it would be as easy as: message = { text = "This is my message", visi...

Re: How Do I Make A Program Pause Briefly?

Need Help With love.timer.sleep

I'm trying to print some text, call 'love.timer.sleep', print some more text, sleep again, print more text etc.
The problem is, instead of sleeping one second and printing the text, it sleeps 3 seconds and then prints all the text at once. How do I fix this?

Re: How Do I Make A Program Pause Briefly?

I was looking in 'love.timer' but I didn't even see that, lol.
google also returned a way to do it in lua

Code: Select all

function sleep(n)
  os.execute("sleep " .. tonumber(n))
end

How Do I Make A Program Pause Briefly?

I wanted to have some text appear on screen, wait a second or two, and then have more appear. In python you would use 'time.sleep(seconds)'
Is there a way to accomplish this in LÖVE or Lua?
