So eh where do i begin...

I have something like this: when player hit a certain key this will trigger a sequence of block placing. The first part of the sequence is with a bunch of fire and then, pause for 700 milisec. After this all the fire will be replaced with dots. All of this will be done in a different thread after the sequence is triggered and they will be done by the bot.

Goal: What i am trying to do is to increase the stats of the guy who triggered the sequence, when other players get killed by the fire part.

Problem: The problem is when i use 700 milisec delay i coulnd't get any result, but by increasing this to 12000 milisec (The fire lasts way longer) i could detect the kill with my current system.

This was done in a 1 vs 1 test so i can assume with more people the delay would be even longer(?)

Is there anyway other way to accomplish the goal ? Any suggestions at all would be great also.

1000 Milliseconds = 1 second
700 is slow, but should work.
12,000 is way too slow.

You could use a timer

I'd really have to see all the code to help with such problems, so can't really help.

Yeah, you're being relatively vague.

Are you putting a delay between your block placing?

Did you know apparently folks aren't supposed to meddle with actual threads? hmm. tasks I think.

Post the relevant code. Once in a while, it helps.

Ain't nobody got time to be a taskmaster.

^That's true. IIRC the only time I ever used a task was to .. b.asically use it as a thread. So gg me.

In hindsight, my previous post comes across a bit with an unintended air... I'm simply recalling.
