This was what I used earlier, but now I dont remember what I did to make it work... https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.concurrent/timer.html

I don't think

timer

is coroutine-aware so I don't think you can use that & properly suspend

Thnx

On a sidenote, how do I pass the function that I want to work on to a ticker channel ?

assuming you have `val channel = ticker(...)`:

for (delay in channel) {
     functionToRun()
}

ok Im having this one problem. The function Im using send a message over a network, and uses a flood locking mechanism to stop flooding. Now when I try to use this

val one = async {
for(delay in whoUpdater) {
                            logger.log(toLog, toFile,"$botname: Turning on channel sync")
                            updateChanList()
                            logger.log(toLog, toFile,"$botname: Done syncing")
                        }
}
one.await()

Then it justs listens for that message instead of any other message. How do i stop it from happening?

I could put a small break statement inside the for loop but idk

Ok I put a break inside tht for loop but no change.... Please guide me

Instead of

async

I think you should use

launch

And don't

await

, what are you awaiting
