wait is not really a concept outside of 3DGS (for good reasons). It's super expensive in terms of runtime costs, and it doesn't necessarily lead to cleaner code. The one big advantage that it brings to the table for 3DGS is that you get to keep your local storage around. However, in OOP, that storage becomes part of your object and you don't need wait for that anymore.
Long story short: Do yourself a favour and forget about wait and don't try to create a similar looking bandaid. Instead, try to figure out why you want to use wait and how to solve that issue with what you have at hand.

i figured it out that's why i know in C# so much more script needed to simply hold a function hold for a few second C# needs Coroutine and yield while in lite_C a simple wait(-2) works. The fact that i need scripts for all game objects annoys me since you don;t have a complete overview. Simply dragging in a sprite or bmap in a 3D world is not working in unity instead i need to create a gameobject then drag the picture onto it then it needs a script. i believe unity has a lot of ready to use stuff in it. Still i am not convinces the working enviroment is that great. perhaps i will do a little 3dgs vs unity game example. It's a shame 3dgs is not update as it would and could be still a cometitor in game engines. ah were is a full script library when you need one.

Hi Realspawn !
First, Thank you for all the time and work you gave to the Gstudio Community and the Gstudio forum.
I hope you make no mistake, because that long being a member of the Gstudio community, you must be pretty familiar with Gstudio. Switching to a new 3D Game System to me is like after mastering the piano "Change to the cello now and become a virtuoso on this instrument". I know you make music, and you will definitely understand what I mean. Starting with a new system takes some time and the new system will NOT offer the manpower we all need to make a good game: Story, Level design, Characters and their animations,Skinning, textures, good scripts, good music, good sound FX, testing the Game and so on.
Also, after thinking about the multiplatform Game Editors/engines myself, I think Windows PCs with DX and a good monitor. are still the most importand Game plattforms. Nobody will enjoy to play a 3DGame like Skyrim on Android smartphones or Win/tablets or even on a laptop in a park. Linux and Macs maybe an option, but, but, but... Game Consoles ? O.K.
Unity also has a shop build in called Assets Store. I hate stuff like this. Sorry, yes, Im Oldscool :-), I do it myself.
I dont think that "Gamestudio is dead". You can see pop up new projects in the showcase. I only think that many of the people who bought Gstudio were not aware that Game creation is hard work and stresses nerves (inluding bugs) and needs some time. Or they do not master programs like MED.
Gstudio offers a lot of features imho, and do not forget there were a lot of addons and tools, scripst and plugins given to the community by very good programmers (unlike me)
But anyway, if you think you can do better with unity or the unreal engine (very remarkable anyway), give it try. Perhaps will come back later.
Best wishes and thanks again.

JavaScript != Java. And please, do not try to use the JavaScript version of Unity. There is no advantage, JavaScript is just plain awful as a language. This is what history has to say about JavaScript: 1995 - Brendan Eich reads up on every mistake ever made in designing a programming language, invents a few more, and creates LiveScript. Later, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of Java the language is renamed JavaScript. Later still, in an effort to cash in on the popularity of skin diseases the language is renamed ECMAScript. But seriously, do yourselves a favour and learn C#. I'm by no means a huge fan of C#, nor am I a huge fan of Unity. But I think they get a lot of false critique here because Lite-C and GameStudio have garbage conventions that C# and Unity actually do better. Give it some time, and you'll realize that what you think is too verbose and complicated actually is very powerful.
