Alrighty, I want to figure out how to get delay in Dbpro.

For instance, lets take a simple rotating cube script controlled with the control key.

make object box 1, 5, 5, 5

do

if controlkey()=1 then turn object left 1, 0, 0, 5
if controlkey()=0 then turn object right 1, 0, 0, 5


I was hoping that DBPro could do something like:
(NOTICE: The following is not a real command, and I know it isn't, I am using it as an example of what I had hoped DBPro would have:

make object box 1, 5, 5, 5

do

if controlkey()=1 then turn object left 1, 0, 0, 5
if controlkey()=0 then delay(2000) [turn object right 1, 0, 0, 5]

if controlkey()=0 then wait 2000 : turn object right 1, 0, 0, 5

should work but this will stop everyhing else also

if you want a delay on that specific action while everything else is still running use the timer:


if controlkey()=0 then startdelay=timer():delayflag=1

if delayflag=1 and timer()=startdelay+2000 then turn object right 1,0,0,5:delayflag=0

Ah, that is not nearly as complicated as I thought it would be. (Then again, this is Darkbasic professional )

Thanks!
