function CommandSender:SafeWait(interval)
if interval < 0.1 then
interval = 0.1 -- wait minimum unit is 0.1 second
end
local startTime = socket.gettime()
wait.time(interval)
local usedTime = socket.gettime() - startTime
interval = interval - usedTime
if interval > 0 then
ColourNote("white", "red", "wait used:" .. usedTime .. ", required more delay:" .. interval)
self:SafeWait(interval)
end
end
I found that wait.time sometimes returns earlier than the actual wait time, because, I guess, windows message issues?
Cheers,

| I think I would loop rather than recurse, just to be on the safe side.
You should be able to use the high-precision timer (see utils.timer) to see how much time has elapsed. |

| socket.gettime should do the same thing as utils.timer does.
From the test, I can see sometimes ColourNote outputs.
so can I say that wait.time is not reliable?

| | It should be reliable, however timers are implemented with a 0.1 second granularity. I would be interested to see your exact figures for what you think is "not reliable". |
