Blocking delay

Hi,
here I see different variants, may be you will find something useful for your case:

I think this is good for you:

Solution: os.clock()

. .

Using the os.clock() method instead of os.time(), you can get precision down to one 100th of a second while os.time() only allows intervals based on the timestamp, which at execution can be at anything from 0.1 to 1 second. The os.time() method is great for longer periods over 2 seconds where precision isn't that much of a deal.

function sleep(s)
  local ntime = os.clock() + s/10
  repeat until os.clock() > ntime
end

BR,

Alex

Thanks, i have this working now

function sleep(s)
  local ntime = os.clock() + s
  repeat until os.clock() > ntime
end
