Seems I can get sleep to only work for less than about 3 seconds? I need to put the script to sleep for about 20 seconds but anything over 3 seems to not work.

This seems to work fine:
(Put in a box, touch to start 20 second sleep).

From: someone

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!";);
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "Starting sleep...";);
llSleep(20.0);
llSay(0, "... finished.";);
}
}


But you also might try using llSetTimerEvent for a slightly different approach:

From: someone

default
{
state_entry()
{
llSay(0, "Hello, Avatar!";);
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llSay(0, "Starting sleep...";);
llSetTimerEvent(20.0);
}

timer()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llSay(0, "... finished.";);
}
}

Works perfectly fine for me. What makes you believe it doesn't work?

LOL
ummmm, because I tried it?

I put the setting at 3 and it worked fine, at 4 to 20 it never did work. The number in the brackets is in whole seconds right?

llSleep works in whole and partial seconds. It works for much longer than just 20 seconds as well. Something is wrong with a different part of your code if the sleep is not working at more than 3 seconds.

It is a "best practice" to use a float value instead of an integer on functions that request a float...ie...llSleep(3.0) rather than llSleep(3).

What happened when you tried the code I posted for you to test?

For some strange reason sleep work fine now. Maybe just a bad day for me and SL when I was trying the script as I didn't really change anything except from llSleep(20) to llSleep(20.0)...or could that have made the difference.
Either way, thanks for the help.

Maybe you just needed llSleep(28800.0) instead of staying up all night scripting??? Heehee
