Very simple question

So in C#, how can i make an action last for a few seconds?

What do you mean by "an action"? A task? An animation?

byterail76

no, like invisibilty

@byterail76 You would have to save the end time of the invisibility (start time + how long it lasts), then in a Tick check if the current time is past the end time. Example:

const int INVISIBLE_LENGTH_TIME = 3000; //how long invisibility lasts - 3000 milliseconds

bool invisible = false; //invisibility enabled
double invisibleEndTime = 0; //when invisibility should end

public YourScriptName()
{
	KeyDown += OnKeyDown;
	Interval = 100;
	Tick += OnTick;
}

private void OnKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
	if (e.KeyCode == Keys.T) //start invisibility
	{
		Game.Player.Character.IsVisible = false;

		invisible = true;
		invisibleEndTime = DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMilliseconds + INVISIBLE_LENGTH_TIME;
	}
}

private void OnTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	//if current time is greater than end time of inivisibility; time to stop
	if (invisible && DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay.TotalMilliseconds > invisibleEndTime)
	{
		Game.Player.Character.IsVisible = true;

		invisible = false;
		invisibleEndTime = 0;
	}
}
