Solved Wait {_w} seconds

[Stegoleopluradon2]

I am working on making a simple brick furnace skript, but it is returning errors

function smelt(p: player):
    set {_i} to {_p}'s tool
    {_i} is an ore
    send "test" to {_p}
    set {_a} to amount of {_p}'s tool
    if {_i} is iron ore:
        remove {_a} of {_i} from {_p}
        send "%{_a}%" to {_p}
        set {_w} to 0.5*{_a}
        send "%{_w}%" to {_p}
        wait {_w} seconds
        give {_p} {_a} of iron ingots

The error it is returning says that it doesn't understand the effect "wait {_w} seconds". Is this error caused by the Function having a wait?

Maybe try using

 wait "%{_w}%" seconds

i tried a million different ways, and it seems you can use a variable for a wait time, that seems odd.
Might have to report that to Bensku for a skript update!

I just submitted an issue for this on Github, because I feel like that SHOULD work

Thank you for submitting it for me!

Youre welcome, so i figured out the problem here, and why its not working.
So the syntax is

• (wait|halt) [for] %time span%

Which means you cant do "wait {_w} seconds" you would have to do something like "wait {_w}" so you have to be able to set your variable to be seconds/time spawn
[doublepost=1525551555,1525550972][/doublepost]ok, SO I FIXED IT

do something like this

set {_neww} to "%{_w}% seconds" parsed as timespan
wait {_neww}

This will set {_neww} as your {_w} but parsed as a time span in seconds
[doublepost=1525551848][/doublepost]ALSO.... when I ran your function i got this error
"[13:22:09 ERROR]: 'the tool of {_p}' can only ever have one value at most, thus the 'amount of ...' expression is useless. Use '... exists' instead to find out whether the expression has a value. (test.sk, line 7: set {_a} to amount of {_p}'s tool')"

A simple fix to that is change this:

set {_a} to amount of {_p}'s tool

to this:

    set {_tool} to {_p}'s tool
    set {_a} to the amount of {_tool} in {_p}'s inventory
