How to make a local script for example with lua wait 4 seconds then do what is shall do without pausing entire CHEAT ENGINE ?

Can someone write an example

I just want this function to sleep not the entire CE how to do so?

either use threads or a timer

timer:
Code:

...
if isKeyPressed(VK_PAD_B) then
  --do stuff before pause
  local t=createTimer()
  t.Interval=4000
  t.OnTimer=function(t)
    --do stuff after pause
    t.destroy()
  end
end


thread:
Code:

keycheckthread=createThread(function(thr)
while thr.Terminated==false do
  if isKeyPressed(VK_PAD_B) then
    --do stuff before pause
    sleep(4000)
    --do stuff after pause
  end 
  sleep(100) --don't eat up all cpu time
end
end)

Eric I can't thank you enough for this ! This changes a lot of things and surely I will remember that timers can be created inside timers.

WONDERFUL!
