- WAIT
This opcode stops an execution of the script for specified amount of time in milliseconds. A value of 0 means that the script will regain focus as soon as possible, whereas values greater than 0 denote the minimum time span that has to go by before the script is revisited. A wait is required for almost all loops. It is bad practice to use a very long wait in scripts that loop; for that, it is much better to use game timers like opcode 01BD or local variable timers.
Example
The following example, using Sanny Builder, shows a simple loop with the required "wait" opcode.
while true wait 0 ms end
