wait
This function pauses the entire script for a certain number of millisecunds.
bool wait(int milliseconds)
Parameters:
milliseconds
The number of milliseconds to wait. This must not be less than 0.
Return value:
true on success, false on failure.
Remarks:
This function completely interrupts the script for the specified amount of time. This includes all real-time activities such as checking timers, keyboard input etc. It is thus not advisable to wait for a long time in situations where the program needs to be responsive. However, waiting for about 5 milliseconds in your main game loop as well as other loops that run for a long time is highly recommended, as it reduces the CPU usage of your program enormously without affecting its speed. If you fail to do this, your game will consume 100 % of the CPU at all times.
Example:

    // Display a message, wait for three seconds, and then display another one.

    void main()
    {
    alert("Waiting","About to wait for three seconds.");
    wait(3000);
    alert("Thanks","Thanks for waiting for me. Goodbye.");
    }
