| function a()
DoAfter(1,"e")
end
function b()
DoAfter(0.1,"hp")
a()
DoAfter(0.1,"l")
end
The result is
hp then l then e
But I just want to it can run in the order
first:hp
after 1s then: e
then:l
Of course, If I change the DoAfter(0.1,"l") to DoAfter(2,"l"), the result is same I want. If I don't know how long it need to run for function a, how can I correct it? Thank you.

| | If some Doafter is nested in function a, it will be more complex. I think the important thing is how can let the code run in the order. | | Top |

| DoAfter() sets a timer with the delay you specify, and immediately continues with the script. That means that in this script, "hi" is shown first:
DoAfter(0.1, "lol")
DoAfter(0.2, "rofl")
print("hi")
And then as time passes, MUSHclient runs the timers as they're fired, so "lol" would come after 0.1 seconds, and 0.1 seconds after that (i.e. 0.2 seconds from being created) "rofl" would show up.
I'd suggest doing this:
function a(delay)
DoAfter(delay, "e")
end
function b()
DoAfter(0.1, "hp")
a(1.1)
DoAter(1.2, "l")
end
You could also try using the "wait.lua" module, which uses coroutines to give you a pause mechanism closer to what you expect.
require "wait"
function a()
Send("e")
end
wait.make(function()
wait.time(0.1)
Send("hp")
wait.time(1)
a()
wait.time(0.1)
Send("l")
end)
