You need to make a proc that is called every [insert ammount of time here].
Example:
proc
    Respawn()
        world.repop()
        sleep(1000)//Change this to how long
        Respawn()
world
    New()
        Respawn()

an even better way to do this is....

world
New()
spawn
while(1)
sleep(3000)
Repop()
return ..()

Well one hour is a bit long because most people don't play games that long I suggest around 3 minutes which is 18000. (I think)

You put the number of ticks you want it to wait for in the sleep() proc.

Air _King said this in another post

"10 ticks = 1 sec 600 ticks= 60 sec = 1 min 600*60= 36000 ticks in one hour..."

1800.

Although ten minutes seems about right, since it's long enough to keep people from waiting around for stuff, and short enough that it still happens regularly.

Yah but i dont want monsters to come back almost right when there killed
i want to make them wait so they cant gain alot of stats really quick

Then go for about 5-10 minutes. Because the world will be empty for a long time with an hour delay.

i am setting it at 10 minutes so that would be (3600)
Right?

I got 6000 maybe my math is wrong.

10 ticks * 60 Seconds = 600 ticks/minute
600 ticks * 10 minutes = 6000 ticks/10 minutes

nope it's right. :)

See what i did was take one tenth of 36000 and of course that is 3600 but i am not sure if that is seconds or what so could a math wiz come out and help

He already told you, 6000 ticks is ten minutes.
