I took some programing in school, and I think that pause 100 is 10 seconds.


I am quesing that because that is how I think C++ uses it, and I keep getting C++ Errors so the game must have some C++ in it.


So am I right.

/pause 100 in a macro is "/pause 100 seconds". So its about1 minute and 40 secs.

actually no it's not. /pause 100 is 50 seconds. As far as I can tell each "unit" of macro time is a half a second. I verified this with a stopwatch program on my laptop and programmed in a simple macro:


/sit;/pause 100;/stand


It was 50 seconds between actions, not 100 like I expected. Hope this helps some people.

It's actually 60 seconds. Each unit rerpresents 1/100th of a minute.


If you set /pause 10, you effectively are pausing for 10% of one minute, which is 6 seconds; /pause 1 is 0.6 seconds.

hmm...i don't think so. Get yourself a stopwatch, do a few tests with different numbers, and i'll think you will see that it's half the /pause number, in seconds. So:


pause 10 = 5 seconds


pause 50 = 25 seconds


pause 75 = 37.5 seconds


pause 100= 50 seconds


I verified all these

There's a bug in /pause. It starts out as 1 = 1 second, but it changes. I've had it as high as 8 = 1 sec, and it could go higher. It has something to do with system messages being sent to a floating chat window, so keep your windows docked if you need to keep the timer accurate.
