wait or sleep function

[jchyr]

I have alert in my code with sound file but I have another alert right after and it seems only take the first alert but not the second one. Is that I need to delay or wait for few second before execute the second alert?

Hello jchyr,

We do not have a delay function for this type of scenario. However, you can create one with a loop. Add a delay loop to your study like the below.

function main() {
    Alert.playSound("train.wav"):

    var cntr = 0;
    for (var i = 0; i < 4000000; i++) {
        cntr++
    }
    Alert.playSound("ding.wav");
} 

The number of loops may need to be adjusted for your specific machine. 4 million works well on my end. If you do not hear both alerts, increase the number. If there is too long of a delay between alerts, reduce the number.
