So in Rbx.lua, it's wait(), what is the synonym to this in C++? I'm trying to make a timer, and I have to wait 1 second in my loop as you can probably imagine.

sleep(); Though it isn't always accurate.

Hmm okay, any other easy ways? Also, what library is that function in?

I'd use clock(), look up its documentation.

clock() is so volatile; it sucks really. If you only want seconds, then use time().

Or you could use some fancy thing to get the current time. I dont think you really pause the program in "real" programs, you just run an empty loop or something until the time has passed?

Aren't those functions in the 'time(.h)' lib? ~Myrco; Music lover, nederlands/dutch and a scripter
