How can I use TriggerSleepAction?

How can I use it?

Can I use it in scenario as:

function someFunc takes nothing returns nothing
	call TriggerSleepAction(1000)
	call BJDebugMsg("1 second...")
endfunction
function on0sec takes nothing returns nothing
	call someFunc()
	call BJDebugMsg("0 seconds...")
endfunction

Given as I suspect I can't use it on Conditions, does it work if use TriggerEvaluate() on a trigger which has action attached to it?

Does TriggerSleepAction() work on ExecuteFunc()?

TriggerSleepAction should never be used. Ever. Don't even try to find workarounds.

Then what should I make to create a jass representive for

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Welcome to my map!
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Blah blah...

how do you use TriggerSleepAction? you dont. It will not work with TriggerEvaluate, because that only runs conditions attached to trigger. To run actions attached to trigger you should use TriggerExecute.

I dont know if it is safe to use TriggerSleepAction within ExecuteFunc or TimerStart, or even Or, And.

You may have to test that out

this is something I did a while ago. But the problem I ran into was obviously how do I pause the trigger. The only thing I came up with was to create a infinite loop and break it once the time had passed. Sadly it caused extreme lag so I never published it.

The simple way to do it is to use a timer. When the timer ends it will call the function and run your actions.

It only increases accuracy isnt that right?
If you dont have to be perfectly timed, you could use triggersleepaction... i suppose

no, if you use TriggerSleepAction inside triggercondition block for instance, you will immediately crash the running execution, also Wait does not give a shit if dialog box is opened, or if your game is even opened(alt-tab and the waits still run like nothing ever happened)
