For and do loops with llSleep... I still prefer timers. (^_^)y

polling time or a prim property in a loop works, and you can also abuse sensor repeat to act as a (second) timer, but it's not a great idea.
(although GCF in float and and modulus can get you multiple effective timers too, as can additive reference times saved to a list.) is there some reason you don't want a timer? _____________________
