SleepMBS(time as Double)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
global method System MBS Util Plugin 11.3 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Sleeps the current thread for the given time in seconds.
Example
dim sock as TCPSocket // some socket
dim done as Boolean // some global property

do

SleepMBS(0.1) // 100 ms
sock.poll

loop until done

Sleep does not yield CPU time to other functions, so you really sleep the whole process.
Useful for console projects which sleep for a few milliseconds in a loop polling a socket.

If you need to give CPU time to socket, other threads or for quicktime movie playback, please use DelayMBS.
