Um, hello there. I was working on a custom command in Counter-strike: Condition Zero using this format:

alias <keyword> "sv_gravity 100;wait 500;sv_gravity 999999;wait 5;sv_gravity 800"

For some reason though, it doesn't wait at all. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong??

you sure it doesn't wait? its in ms, so that wait should be 0.5 seconds.. proabably too fast to notice

[Edit] - and should it be g_gravity?

wait doesnt work that way, you can't use it like "wait 500".
wait has always a fixed amount of time, can't remember how much it was anymore, like 10ms or so.
Use something like :

alias wa "wait"
alias wa1 "wa"
alias wa2 "wa1; wa1"
alias wa4 "wa2; wa2"
alias wa8 "wa4; wa4"
alias wa16 "wa8; wa8"
alias wa32 "wa16; wa16"
alias wa48 "wa16; wa16; wa16"
alias wa64 "wa32; wa32"
alias wa128 "wa64; wa64"
alias wa256 "wa128; wa128"

You even need to continue that system, as wa256 still only waits for a fraction of a second
This was a part of code which i used for a buyscript for cs 7.1 or so. So maybe the whole system has changed. Dunno Maybe it'll help. Otherwise check a more approriate forum than a mapping general banter one.

Greets,
Pal

I did a little research on some scripting site.

The wait command create a pause for "1 tick". This "1 tick" varies from computer to computer depending on your connection(if your writing a script for online), and computer specs. So you you don't write numbers after your waits, you just have to type a whole lot of them together.

So:

alias <keyword> "sv_gravity 100;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;sv_gravity 999999;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;wait;sv_gravity 800"


But instead of using all of those waits, use the aliases paladin posted.
