I need help in the following code to delay the 'for' looping.
Actually it looks like this, but it would start it all over again to forever.
I need something to replace the 'set_task' to delay it, without making a new variable to the whole code.

PHP Code:

public Thingy()
{
    new i
    for (i=0; i<10; i++)
    {
        //executed stuff
        set_task(2.0, "Thingy",0);
    }
    
    return PLUGIN_HANDLED;
}

PHP Code:

func(){
    new param[1]
    param[0] = 0
    set_task(2.0, "Thingy", 0, param, 1) 
    //Thingy(param) // <-- use this instead of set_task above if you want first execution without delay
}

public Thingy(param[]){
    new i = param[0]
    //executed stuff
    
    if(++param[0] < 10)
        set_task(2.0, "Thingy", 0, param, 1)
}

Thanks for the fast reply, but I don't really understand how to call the 'Thingy' function in your code.

Just call function func(), it will start the loop. If you want first execution without delay then in func() comment set_task(...) and uncomment Thingy(param).

Well I still don't understand since you never used the i in your code and I tried to compile, but it said: symbol is never used 'func' and bunch of 'loose of indentation'.
Called func with this:

PHP Code:

register_clcmd( "command" , "func" ,ADMIN_LEVEL_E);

To call it like this you need to make the func() public. The "i" in my code is unused because I assumed you were using it in your "//executed stuff", so I added it there to make it easier for you. Loose indentation has nothing to do with how the plugin works, indent your code properly to get rid of it (maybe you mixed tabs with spaces).

Alright I got it now thanks for explaining all.
