NPC Code:

---

if(playertouchsme) {

  sleep 2;

  setplayerprop #c,Oh, it waited 2 seconds before it set this message!;

}

..This would pause the WHOLE script for 2 second, and then move on.

With timeout, it doesnt pause the script. It continues on.

NPC Code:

---

if(created) {

  timeout = 3;

  sleep 1; // 1st second

  setplayerprop #c,1;

  sleep 1; // This would be the 2nd second

  setplayerprop #c,2;

}



if(timeout) setplayerprop #c,3; // On the 3rd second do this.

---

it will do the first 2 commands (setting playerprop, because those are done within the first 2 seconds. And then it will call the timeout, and do whatevers in there.)

I think I explained it right.. it might be alittle confusing though ^_^.
