I would like to close a messagebox in Lua, something like this:

Code:

showMessage("test")
sleep(1000)
closeMessagebox <-----------something like that, which closes the "test" message box

I couldn't find anything related in the main.lua.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: Does showMessage return a form? I dont think so, but im not sure.

the showMessage function does not return (won't execute the following code) until the dialog is closed. _________________ Do not ask me about online cheats. I don't know any and wont help finding them. Like my help? Join me on Patreon so i can keep helping

Thanks for the reply. So, are there other ways to make a message just show up for a limited amount of time?

BTW, where can I find the newest syntax for cheat engine lua? Is it in the main.lua? Thank you.

Code:

function myShowMessage(title, texttoshow, time)
local myform = createForm(false)
myform.Caption = title
myform.BorderStyle = 'bsDialog'
myform.AutoSize = true
myform.Position = 'poScreenCenter'

local mylabel = createLabel(myform)
mylabel.Caption = texttoshow
mylabel.BorderSpacing.Around = 20

local t=createTimer(myform)
t.Interval = time
t.OnTimer = function () myform.destroy() end

myform.show()

end

myShowMessage('Warning', 'Something something, lorem ipsum dolor sit amet', 5000)
