What's the syntax for timer.pause?

I'm reading the manual and according to it, I'm suppose to just call it with the amount of time I want to pause ie timer.pause(2000)

but running the following code inside the lslua.init() stops after the pause and never resumes


I just want a simple pause for 3 seconds.

The timer module in lua has some issues. Check out this thread for some potential workarounds:

The big thing to note is: timer.lua.dll still requires that you load timer-0.5
