'''sleep vs. uiSleep'''
[[sleep]] pauses the waiting when the game is paused, where [[uiSleep]] does not.


The workings of sleep could be compared to:

<code>//[[sleep]] 5;

t = [[time]] + 5;
! [[uiSleep]]
[[waitUntil]] {[[time]] >= t};</code>

The workings of [[uiSleep]] could be compared to:

<code>//[[uiSleep]] 5;
// sleep 5;
t = [[diag_tickTime]] + 5;
_t = time + 5;
[[waitUntil]] {[[diag_tickTime]] >= t};</code>
waitUntil { time >= _t };
When simulation is interrupted, [[time]] freezes, but not [[diag_tickTime]]. Also [[time]] at the start of in ''init.sqf'' is often reported as 0, even if the mission has already started.

sleep pauses the waiting when the game is paused, where uiSleep does not.

sleep uiSleep
// sleep 5; _t = time + 5; waitUntil { time >= _t };
// uiSleep 5; _t = uiTime + 5; waitUntil { uiTime >= _t };

When the simulation is interrupted, time freezes, but not uiTime. Also time at the start of in init.sqf is often reported as 0, even if the mission has already started.
