Time between placing a block

OK I want to have at least 10 seconds between two different blocks being placed in the same place.

I already tried:

con.Send(bldatam, 0, x, y, blockid, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

    OR

con.Send(bldatam, 0, x, y, blockid);
  Thread.Sleep(200);

 

Sorry, I'm a beginning in Programming s I don't really know anything.

If you know reply please.

Re: Time between placing a block

Thread.Sleep is in ms, meaning a value of 1000 = 1 second.
So if you'd want 10 seconds, you'd need a value of 10 * 1000 = 10000.

Long story short, use this:

con.Send(bldatam, 0, x, y, blockid);
Thread.Sleep(10000);

You didn't know this at one point, get off your high-horse.

He was almost correct, he had

TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)

and

Thread.Sleep(200);

therefore very close to

Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

Re: Time between placing a block

I must say using Thread.Sleep isn't a smart way to do it though (unless you run it in a separate thread).
Try and use Timers as much as you can.

One bot to rule them all, one bot to find them. One bot to bring them all... and with this cliché blind them.

Exactly, stick to Thread.Sleep then timers later on when an understanding of the language has actually improved!

heh, yes. Put the 200 in teh FromSeconds, then wonder why teh entire bot breaks. lel

Really? That's not what I said, he had the correct timing for 10 seconds and he has the means to implement the delay/sleep - he just didn't put it together because he is new.
It broke because he put a timing into the block send not because it was waiting 200 seconds.

Which is why my original solution didn't contain it yet

sorry. I didn't mean to say that wasn't what you said.

HOWEVER
your claim that "oh, he was close" struck me as funny, because random combinations of the two lines could have lead to an inexplicably long wait.

I have never thought of programming for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out. That is the reason why I code.
