Wait x seconds to do things, where X is the distance between two points.

[Lummox]

I am unable to find out how to solve this, I would appreciate if you can help me.

I want to calculate the distance between two points and divide it by 3.5, I do this with:

set {palomas.distancia.%player%} to a rounded distance between the player and {palomas.destinos::%{_destino}%} / 3.5

Then I want to do the following, you have to wait X amount of seconds, this "X" is the resultant number of the operation that calculates the distance between the two points.

For example, if the distance between the two points is 5000 blocks, you would have to wait 5000/3 = 1666 seconds for the script to continue.

The part of code that I have made and does not work is this:

set {palomas.distancia.%player%} to a rounded distance between the player and {palomas.destinos::%{_destino}%} / 3.5
            set {_distancia} to {palomas.distancia.%player%} parsed as number
            set {palomas.tiempo.%player%} to now
            wait %{_distancia}% seconds
            if difference between {palomas.tiempo.%player%} and now is greater than {palomas.distancia.%player%} seconds:
                add {_mensaje} to {palomas.buzon.%{_destino}%::*}
            stop

This part of the code does not seem to work (gives error):

            wait %{_distancia}% seconds
            if difference between now and {palomas.tiempo.%player%} is greater than %{_distancia}% seconds:

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

the wait effect only accept timespans, not numbers, you have to parse it to a timespan:

set {_wait} to "%{palomas.distancia.%player%}% seconds" parsed as timespan
wait {_wait}

Works perfect, thanks !.

Just one more question, in case the action is not completed because during the wait the server is going to restart ... is there any way to cancel the restart until the action is completed?
