Is there a gamethread module/package added? If so, does it work the same way?

Code: Select all

import gamethread

gamethread.delayed(delay_time, myCallback(args*))

Well, your syntax for gamethread is wrong. It should be:

Code: Select all

import gamethread

gamethread.delayed(delay_time, myCallback, args)

Anyways, to answer your question, yes there is:

Code: Select all

from tick.delays import TickDelays

TickDelays.delay(delay_time, myCallback, *args)

Also, if you store the instance returned by TickDelays.delay, you can cancel it with:

Code: Select all

TickDelays.cancel_delay(<instance>)

Also, if you store the instance returned by TickDelays.delay, you can cancel it with:

Code: Select all

TickDelays.cancel_delay(<instance>)

The instance would be the name of the variable, correct?

Code: Select all

myDelay = TickDelays.delay(delay_time, callBack)

TickDelays.cancel_delay(myDelay)

Yes, or you could, for instance, use a dictionary to store an instance for each player. Also, when you use cancel_delay, if the delay has already passed, no error is raised.

A suggestion:
Wouldn't this be more logical?

Code: Select all

myDelay = TickDelays.delay(delay_time, callBack)

myDelay.cancel_delay()
#Or
myDelay.cancel()

I originally thought about adding this, but never did. I cannot remember why I decided not to, though. It would be very easy to add in.

Also, TickDelays is a dictionary object, so it is just as logical to use the current implementation. And, if we were to add in <instance>.cancel_delay(), we would still keep TickDelays.cancel_delay(<instance>).

So no reason to not add it then?
