Created page with '{{userfunc}}  Call this function to wait a specified amount of time before running another function with the given parameters. This function is usefu...'

New page

{{userfunc}} 

Call this function to wait a specified amount of time before running another function with the given parameters.
This function is useful when you rely on system messages to trigger your code as (especially with Guild related system messages) the system message is dispatched by the server sometimes before the results have been updated. Waiting to perform the next step of your code becomes easy with this function.

''<PREFIX>''_wait(delay, func [, param [,param [,...]]])

== Function Parameters ==
=== Arguments ===

:;delay : Number - the amount of time to wait (in seconds) before the provided function is triggered
:;func: Function - The function to run once the wait delay is over.
:;param : any - A list of any additional parameters (of any assorted type) to pass to the provided function when it is triggered.
=== Returns ===

:;success: Boolean - '''true''' if it succeded in adding the wait to the wait table, If the first parameter is not a number, or the seconds parameter is not a function, any call to wait will automatically fail with a result of '''false'''.

== Example ==
''<PREFIX>''_wait(2.5,[[printMSG|''<PREFIX>''_printMSG]],"Hello");

====Result====
returns '''true''' after the initial call
after a 2.5 seconds delay, the string "Hello" will be displayed in the default chat frame.

==Code==

<pre>
local waitTable = {};
local waitFrame = nil;

function <PREFIX>__wait(delay, func, ...)
if(type(delay)~="number" or type(func)~="function") then
return false;
end
if(waitFrame == nil) then
waitFrame = CreateFrame("Frame","WaitFrame", UIParent);
waitFrame:SetScript("onUpdate",function (self,elapse)
local count = #waitTable;
local i = 1;
while(i<=count) do
local waitRecord = tremove(waitTable,i);
local d = tremove(waitRecord,1);
local f = tremove(waitRecord,1);
local p = tremove(waitRecord,1);
if(d>elapse) then
tinsert(waitTable,i,{d-elapse,f,p});
i = i + 1;
else
count = count - 1;
f(p);
end
end
end);
end
tinsert(waitTable,{delay,func,...});
return true;
end
</pre>
