call_out(3)           LPC Library Functions           call_out(3)

NAME
     call_out() - delayed function call in same object

SYNOPSIS
     void call_out( string | function fun, int delay,  mixed  arg
     );

DESCRIPTION
     Set up a call of function <fun> in this_object().  The  call
     will  take place in <delay> seconds, with the argument <arg>
     provided. <arg> can be of any type.

     Please note that you can't rely on write() or say() in <fun>
     since this_player() is set to 0. Use tell_object() instead.

     The define  THIS_PLAYER_IN_CALL_OUT  exists  to  remedy  the
     above problem.
