How to Pause a lua script running in xlua?
(without busy-waiting)

I tried to find How to, but only to fail, fail and fail.

a. Using 'while' command : busy waiting, fail
b. Using coroutine : xlua doesn`t support coroutine...
c. Using C lib : ............... I tried. but cannot found.


Only I need is .....
Pause a script for a while without busy-waiting in xlua
like 'sleep()' function in C.

please help me out...

Well, it does. Retriever2 actually made me an example before. I'll see where I can find it.

EDIT: Here it is. http://hocuspocus.taloncrossing.com/rii/coroutine.zip
I'm sure he allows me to link it here, as it's n his public directory anyway.

Cool example, in the events it says Zephni's Lua Example though but im guessing thats maybe another nick used by Retriever2. In any case thanks for posting.

Ah, actually, I forgot about that part. :blush:
He didn't release it because he didn't actually make it - It was just an updated/modified version of Zephni's old example.

Yes, it's not my example. In fact I didn't even port it, I just fixed some bugs! So credit to where credit is due, but regardless I think it's a helpful example.

Oh! Thanks for help and really useful Example!

I didn`t realize xlua does support coroutine!

I'm the one who ported the code for that example, and Retriever2 fixed it for me!

I asked some other questions on that thread about coroutines too, and I refer back to it whenever I forget something.

Hi UrbanMonk. That link on TDC goes to a page that does not exist. Thought I would let you know.

It works for me ... maybe they require you to be registered and logged in?

Why, but anyway I get 404 now.
