How do you cancel a delay?

What do you mean cancel? Confused
If you mean take out the delay while the program is running then you could put the delay inside an if statement.

hmm... why would you want a delay to stop. You can set the delay right... so why would you want it to stop while the program in running... can you give like a piece of code so i can see what you're trying to do

u can probably do:

if (something) then
x := 0
end if
delay (x)

k ...
so
code:
% all your code before that
var num:int
get num
if num >10 then
delay(10)
%you don't need an else delay (0) cos... thats like  :? :P
end if

that should work fine.

Is this inside a loop? If so, chances are you should only have one delay.

How about this question:
How would you let the user input something while a delay is running?
Author:  Cervantes [ Mon Jan 31, 2005 5:50 pm ]
Post subject: 
You don't. A delay is like getch: it halts the program until it's done. So, while the delay is on, the program is halted. Thus, you can't be running an Input.KeyDown line while the delay is on.

But a get statement would do the trick... it would delay until the user inputs a value.. or if you need the delay set to a specific time you could have the get statement and then the delay like so:
code:

var theget : string


put "enter something here"
get theget
Time.Delay(10)

How about just hasch
however, I got a question
ok how would u like enter a cheat while the program is running
like you can make teh program run
but if u enter something, it wont show, but it will print do the cheat after the code is fully entered

Post subject:  You would have to...
Do it with processes... and then fork them, so that the game, and the getcheat command can run at the same time...

do note that processes will cause alot of trouble.... you might wanna stay away from em... if i were you, i would just use a cheat menu...

you could try something like this:
code:
proc d(time:int)
    var t:int:=Time.Elapsed
    loop
        exit when Time.Elapsed-t >= time
        %stick whatever else you want in here
    end loop
end d
dunno about that might work, who knows Razz

I don't know if you already know this, but you would also need something like this so that what the user types doesn't show up on the screen.

setscreen("nocursor,noecho")

Post subject: 
you only need noecho if your using getch so that it wont show then
