How to write wait function for active window?

RandomUserFromBasement

Idk how write wait() or similar functions for active window. When I try write sleep() or handmade function wait() (made with comparing os.clock(). Also tried make with repeat or while) my window and computer become a dead and I idk how fix this.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you want your Lua progam to wait for a certain amount of time ?

Samir Sort of yes, but for example: I have a window with text in it. The window is run with ui.run(). There is a function that changes the text after some time. But the problem is that when I try to do this, I either have the window freeze or the cursor becomes like it's trying to load the window.

Samir

Can you give me some code that reproduces this ?

local ui = require "ui"
local Window = ui.Window(rtbuilder, "ConsoleGame", rtbuilder and "dialog" or "dialog", 640, 400)

local Label1 = ui.Label(Window, [[Label1]], 21, 20, 589, 304)

--return Window, { ['Label1'] = Label1, ['Entry1'] = Entry1, }

function start()
Label1.text = [[Hi!]]
sleep(3000)
Label1.text = [[How are you?]]
sleep(3000)
Label1.text = [[Lol!!!]]
end
start()
ui.run(Window):wait()

Samir

you should try to run the start() function asynchronously using async(start) just before launching the ui.run() Task.
It's due to a bug that will be fixed in next LuaRT release

Samir Thanks!
