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!

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

CSHARP 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
