Would really be helpful to me to be able to put a timer in the FORALL
loop, so it would continue, say, with the next item in the list after 5 seconds.

FORALL example

list="sword|ring|shield"
#FORALL @list {repair %i}

Loops through the equipment in the list and repairs each one in turn.

Can you just create an Index variable, and every time the 5 second timer fires increment the index and do the repair on the (index)th item in the list? (Stopping when the index is equal to the number of list members)

For this example, there might be another solution entirely: do you get a message when the repair is complete that you can trigger on?

Do you need the list variable to stay the same, or are you adding/removing items from it as equipment is broken/repaired?

Is there an easy way for me to increment through my variable list? I thought maybe I could #delitem after it was repaired so it would cycle to the next item. Was hoping for an easier fix as #forall would work perfectly if I could just put in a timer between each one.

I figured out a way to do it by including #YESNO in my #FORALL statement. Only drawback is that if someone enters the room to kill me while im clicking yes, no, cancel, or the "x" i cant move. I have to click an answer for every item in my variable list. This is my button:

#FORALL @list {#yesno "Repairing damage to %i" {repair %i}}

;if you no longer need the list when you are done with it
#alarm *5 {repair %pop(@list)}

;if you still need the original list when the repair action is done
#alarm "tRepair" *5 {#additem List "Beginning";#if (%item(@List,1) != "Beginning") {List = %additem(%item(@list,1),@list);repair %pop(@list)} {List = %pop(@list);#T- tRepair}}
