Help Functions iPrintLnBold()

[[Z00MBY] Alex]

Help please with the function.

Example:
iPrintLnBold(null, "^5iprintlnbold test!");

What can I do to show the text on the screen for 5 seconds?

You can't
Or you call it twice or something and wait a few seconds between the 2, but you can't change the time of the message

[JoSchaap]

iPrintLnBold("^5iprintlnbold test!", null);
Thread.sleep(1000);
iPrintLnBold("^5iprintlnbold test!", null);
Thread.sleep(1000);
iPrintLnBold("^5iprintlnbold test!", null);
Thread.sleep(1000);
iPrintLnBold("^5iprintlnbold test!", null);
Thread.sleep(1000);
iPrintLnBold("^5iprintlnbold test!", null);

but its best practice to only use sleeps in seperate threads!

Thank you for your answers

@pieter If you're gonna do it, at least do it right

Code:

void thread(object arg) { object[] args = (object[])arg; string msg = (string)args[0]; ServerClient client = (ServerClient)args[1]; int seconds = (int)args[2]; int currsec = 0; while (currsec != seconds) { currsec++; Owner.iPrintLnBold(msg, client); Thread.Sleep(1000); } } void ShowMessage(string msg, ServerClient client, int seconds) { object[] args = { msg, client, seconds }; ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(thread), args); }

@litgar Remove the 'Owner.' part before iPrintLnBold (line 12), forgot that only RollTheDice uses Owner
