    Hey Guys is it possible to delay an event? I have an addon which automatically "release the corpse" if the character has died : local f = CreateFrame("Frame") f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD") f:SetScript("OnEvent", function() RepopMe() end)

    I tried it with the wait function from the wowwiki but it does nothing. Still instantly releases the corpse

    
local waitTable = {};
local waitFrame = nil;
function still__wait(delay, func, ...)
if(type(delay)~="number" or type(func)~="function") then
    return false;
  end
  if(waitFrame == nil) then
    waitFrame = CreateFrame("Frame","WaitFrame", UIParent);
    waitFrame:SetScript("onUpdate",function (self,elapse)
      local count = #waitTable;
      local i = 1;
      while(i<=count) do
        local waitRecord = tremove(waitTable,i);
        local d = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        local f = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        local p = tremove(waitRecord,1);
        if(d>elapse) then
          tinsert(waitTable,i,{d-elapse,f,p});
          i = i + 1;
        else
          count = count - 1;
          f(unpack(p));
        end
      end
    end);
  end
  tinsert(waitTable,{delay,func,{...}});
  return true;
end

local f = CreateFrame("Frame")
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_DEAD")
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
still__wait(2, RepopMe())
end)

    Would appreciate if someone could tell me another method or if it not possible

    You can use AceTimer to make timed operations: http://www.wowace.com/addons/ace3/pages/api/ace-timer-3-0/

    A lot of addons use Ace because it's an unparalleled source of utility.
