Can someone Explain how to use CurTime() as a Timer
[lua]if CurTime() < Timer then Timer = CurTime() + extra end[/lua]

ok now put a function with it like give() or something so i understand better cause i basically already have that but it doesn't register
[lua]local nextAllowance = 0
local delay = 5
local function giveAllowance()
if CurTime() < nextAllowance then return end -- The current time is less than the time when it will next be allowed, so return
-- Do whatever
nextAllowance = CurTime() + delay -- Set the next allowed time to delay seconds after now
end
[/lua]

-- Do whatever
nextAllowance = CurTime() + delay -- Set the next allowed time to delay seconds after now

well i thought it worked its still just sitting there
[code]local nextrun = 0
local delay = 5
function swag( ply )
if CurTime() < nextrun then return end-- The current time is less than the time when it will next be allowed, so return
print("swag")
print("sawag")
nextrun = CurTime() + delay -- Set the next allowed time to delay seconds after now
end [/code]
Here's a simple tut on time: [url]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26074909/tutoring/time/understanding_time%20and_basic_time_calculations.lua.html[/url]
CurTime( ) starts at 0 when the server starts and it starts counting when the first player joins ( because timers, etc... get triggered by the first player / bot ). There's also RealTime( ), os.time( ), FrameTime( ) and a few others. FrameTime( ) gets the ▲T from the last frame to current time so it's useful when binding something to time rather than fps.

Do you have swag running on think or something? It's not gonna run itself
