Is there any way to make a function that will pause the code for a specified amount of time?

For example:

PHP Code:

public plugin_init()
    register_clcmd("say /test", "test")

public test(id) {
    new name[32]
    get_user_name(id, name, 31)
    
    wait(2.0) //wait func
    client_print(0, print_chat, "Your name is: %s", name) //This should execute after 2 seconds
} 


I tried to make an include that adds this function:

PHP Code:

#if defined _engine_included
    
#else 
    #include <engine>
#endif

new created
new Float:ttimer

public TimerThink(iEnt)
{
        ttimer+= 0.1
        entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_nextthink, get_gametime() + 0.1)
}

wait(Float:wtime) {
    if(!created) {
        register_think("timer","TimerThink")
        new iEnt = create_entity("info_target")
        entity_set_string(iEnt, EV_SZ_classname, "timer")
        entity_set_float(iEnt, EV_FL_nextthink, get_gametime() + 0.1)
    }
    ttimer = 0.0
    if(wtime <= 0)
        return -1

    while(wtime > ttimer) { }
    return 1
} 


But it crashes the server.
When I put an "infinite" loop in c++ to count it goes on forever so I thought it might work here too
Is there any way to make this? Like, for example, call a function that needs 0.1s to execute 20 times for a 2 second wait?

set_task

I know that there is set_task but I want to know if it's possible to do it like this.

set_task calls another function. Entity thinks call another function. You cannot add a pause into a current function without a while loop.

And how can I add it WITH a while loop?

[YamiKaitou]

PHP Code:

new k = 0;
while (k < 50000); 


Replace 50000 with the correct number that equals the amount of time you want to wait.

Hey, he asked me how to. I, by no means, recommend the while loop method
