    this is the code i am using to welcome people to my guild but I would like it to wait 5-10 seconds before sending the message... how do i do this?

    local function ProcessSystemMsg(msg)

    place = strfind(ERR_GUILD_JOIN_S, "%s", 1, true)
n = strsub(msg,place)
name = strsub(n, 0,(strfind(n,"%s") or 0)-1)
if format(ERR_GUILD_JOIN_S,name) == msg then
    return "join",name
end

    end local function HandleSystemMsg(event, ...)

    local msg = select(2,...)
local p, playerName = ProcessSystemMsg(msg)

if p == "join" then
    --Edit the line below to make your own message.
    SendChatMessage("Welcome " .. playerName .. ", If you (or anyone else) are interested in joining our raid team please send a mail to Willybob.", "GUILD", nil)
end

    end k = CreateFrame("Frame") k:RegisterEvent("CHATMSGSYSTEM") k:SetScript("OnEvent", HandleSystemMsg)

    There's a new function you can use. C_Timer.After(duration, callback) – Calls the callback after duration seconds.

    Try this change to the last line of your code:

     local function ProcessSystemMsg(msg)
     place = strfind(ERR_GUILD_JOIN_S, "%s", 1, true)
     n = strsub(msg,place)
     name = strsub(n, 0,(strfind(n,"%s") or 0)-1)
     if format(ERR_GUILD_JOIN_S,name) == msg then
         return "join",name
     end 
 end 

 local function HandleSystemMsg(event, ...)
     local msg = select(2,...)
     local p, playerName = ProcessSystemMsg(msg)
     if p == "join" then
         --Edit the line below to make your own message.
         SendChatMessage("Welcome " .. playerName .. ", If you (or anyone else) are interested in joining our raid team please send a mail to Willybob.", "GUILD", nil)
     end
 end 

 k = CreateFrame("Frame") 
 k:RegisterEvent("CHATMSGSYSTEM") 
 k:SetScript("OnEvent", C_Timer.After(5, HandleSystemMsg))
