How would I have the user input a value and then the sleep function use that value?

write("Sleep Value > ")
value = read()
sleep(value)

Thats not going to work ^^

So how do I do it?

Thanks, AnthonyD98

read()

returns a string - and sleep() doesn't like strings. Solution:

sleep(tonumber(value))
