1: It would be nice to have something like an identifier that would pause a script from executing for a given amount of time. It came to me when i was scripting from an ON JOIN event and wanted to check the status of the nick in the channel. now since noone has a status on and on join i used an alias to get round it. but it would be nice to have something that will pause a script for a given amount of time and then check the IF statements etc.
I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do but if the pause is to wait for an outside event to take place (e.g., reponse from NickServ, someone opping you, etc.) then just pausing your script would probably turn into a headache. How would you handle excessive lag or outside clients dropping offline?
