Since i cant find any info about os.clock that can help i need to see if it can be used to say delay an execution

Like

if readInteger("SOMEADDR2)==1
then
Delay with os.clock() like half a second
and then
writeInteger("SomeAddres2",XXXX)

Can someone show me example of os.clock usage for such a task?

I will be very grateful.

Code:

sleep(500)
writeInteger("SomeAddress2",XXXX)


or
Code:

createTimer(500, function() writeInteger("SomeAddress2",XXXX) end


or if you insist:
Code:

local starttime=os.clock()
while os.clock()<starttime+0.5 do end
writeInteger("SomeAddres2",XXXX)

THATS GOLD! THANK YOU ERIC! Much appreciated . Pure gold . Couldnt find proper info in the 4th lua edition book but what i expect when i search for stuff that i havent reached yet but need to do... Thanks again Smile

seems like i need to declare first starttime and then the os.clock() and then starttime is basically the "counter " + 0.5 = half a second and then execute.

i see now. will try some experimenting with os.clock then Smile
