Native analog

WAIT

This opcode stops an execution of the thread for specified amount of time in milliseconds. A value of 0 means that the thread will regain focus as soon as possible, whereas values greater than 0 denote the minimum time span that has to go by before the thread is revisited. A wait is required for almost all loops.

Example

The following example, using Sanny Builder, shows a simple loop, with the required "wait" opcode.

while true
    wait 0 ms
end
