[radmahdi]

Hello,

I am new to use playerIO, I am wondering how I can use sleep function in server side code. I tried to use some think like

Code: Select all

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);

but I got the following error:

- error: MyGame.GameCode.GotMessage(...) uses the non-allowed method: System.Void System.Threading.Thread::Sleep(System.Int32)

My goal of using this function is do something after some seconds, for example staring a game in 5 secs.

any idea will be appreciated,
Thanks

I think you can use ScheduleCallback.

I think you can use ScheduleCallback.

Thanks for your response, but can you explain a little more or give me a example?

Code: Select all

ScheduleCallback(delegate {
    // do stuff here after 5000 ms
}, 5000);

You should read up on the documentation.
http://playerio.com/documentation/reference/multiplayer/playerio.gamelibrary.game#ScheduleCallback

And google "delegates c#"

ScheduleCallback only executes once, Timer executes until you call stop:
