Stoping script
 

is there a command to make the key commands sleep?

if (keypressed) {
if (strequals(#p(1),1)) setani plah,;}

is there a way to "freeze" the script so that if I keep tapping 1 it wont restart the gani every time, but rather play it till the end and only then release the key for use?

If that is the whole script, you can use 'sleep', if not, there are plenty of other ways, using variables.

Sleep doesnt work with the keys.

if (keypressed) {
if (strequals(#p(1),1)) setani plah,; sleep 3;}

If it isnt a continous gani it will restart it when you press during sleep time.

I suppose I could do somethign like:

if (keypressed && this.keydown=0) {
if (strequals(#p(1),1)) {this.keydown=1 setani plah,; sleep 3;
this.keydown=0;};}

I was just wondering if there was an internal command or something.

Speaking of keys how do I use keydown command?

if (keydown(A)) {
setstring clientr.plahplah,0;}

Thats how I understood its used, but that script doesnt do anything.

Please use [CODE] tags, this way you can organize your posts better.

If it is a short gani (movements/animations will be done fast), I suppose a sleep is fine, otherwise, a variable setting work too.

This shows how people don't read the rules & guidelines of this section.
According to KSI-GS, rule five:

Use '==' when comparing two values for equality.
Use '=' when assigning a value to a variable.

and you didn't do that, so fix it.

keydown does not work like that, it is keydown(0...10), if you read some documents that are in your Graal Folder (newfeatures) it explains it quite well. Your problem is based on lack of reading, dude!

Try freezeplayer instead of sleep.

keydown parameters are numbered. If you don't know the number for a key, use keydown2 (read how to use it if you dont know it already). I don't know about some other people, but for me, keydown only works under another condition such as a timeout.

Key codes for keydown() (ones I know off the top of my head)
0 - Arrow key up
1 - Arrow key left
2 - Arrow key down
3 - Arrow key right
4 - Weapon fire (default: d)
5 - Sword (default: s)
6 - Grab (default: a)
7 - Map (default: m)
9 - Q-Menu (default: q)

Either check the player's animation before activating the effect, or implement a timer of some kind. Using sleep within a weapon is bad practice.

And keydown is neither a command nor an event. It is a function.
