mist.scheduleFunction
| Added with: Mist 1.0 |
| Description |
| This function schedules function f to run with the table vars unpacked (see the Lua unpack function in the Lua manual if you don’t know what “unpacked” means) and passed to it at the specified time of t. It also returns a number (that can used for cancelling the scheduled function call with mist.removeFunction). The optional value rep is the time between repetitions of the function. st defines when the function will stop automatically. If no vars need to be passed to the function, just set vars equal to an empty table ( {} ). |
