Topic: [HELP] Sleep command in .cfg?

Hi all!
I'm writing a .cfg that displays some warning before my server goes down, but I need the script to wait some seconds before calling "shutdown". Is there any command like Linux's "sleep"? Thanks

I don't know, but I think it's useless because the clients are dropped with a message "Server shutdown" at shutdown wink

My clients report a "Connection problems..." message, anyway I'd like to warn them BEFORE the server goes down...

How do you shutdown your server ? with the "shutdown" command ?

No, with "exec shutdown.cfg", shutdown.cfg is:
broadcast server closing
shutdown

I'd like a "sleep" between the 2 commands

There is no sleep command. cfg files are not meant to be scripts but configurations. It is not possible with the standard teeworlds server/client to use scripts for the commands/settings.

Why do you want to warn players anyways? When the server is shutdown, a message is sent to the clients, is that not enough?

I'd like to warn players so they can finish the current match...
But when I shutdown, my players (and me too) get only a "connection problems" not a "server shutdown" so they may think it's a TRUE connection problem

And when you close with "shutdown" you get "connection problems" ?

He said so. However, if that is the case he either does not use a standard teeworlds server or client, in which case we can't help, because we don't support modifications. Just use the standard teeworlds server and it should not be any problem.

Re: [HELP] Sleep command in .cfg?

Yes, you're using a modded server that is not based of the 0.6 source. Try to find your mod for 0.6 wink

edit: grilled x10
edit2: if you use 0.5.2, forget what you want to do sad
