"sleep" Not Working

[Maurdekye 10]

I'm new to arma scripting, and I've had consistent trouble with the 'sleep' command. Whenever I put it into my code, it always seems to fail at the line that the sleep occurs, even though I'm fairly sure I wrote it correctly. I tried using this line of code;

hint "testtext"; sleep 2; hint " ";

But instead of running, it just gave me an error when I tested the mission.

It's an old post, but it still applies so check it out:

Look into scheduled and unscheduled environments in sqf. You'll get the hang of it :)

What's a good tutorial on how the A3 scripting environment works, and how I should expect it to be used?

Kylania's site has always been a good resource http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=95 and the guide by Taurus http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=9220

wait, is this in a script or is this in the editor?

the editor will return errors.

If not what is the error?
