Hi Vadim,
 
You can use the jade.core.behaviours.WakerBaheviour, whose specific method
-handleElapsedTimeout()- executes "only one just after a given timeout is
elapsed" as its documentation states.
 
Hope I've helped,
Nikos

Subject: [jade-develop] Time schedule in Agent setup() or behaviour;

Hello JADER's
 
    In my Agent I need to send different messages in certain time after
agent has born. Now I'm using for(i,i<x,i++) cycle with Tread.sleep(msec) in
agent's setup() procedure. But I think it is rather "robust" way of doing
such a thing. I want to create a behaviour without action receive and put
the timer there, but I don't know if it give the same result and whether
sleep (1000) for example will be equal to 1sec, when I have 10 agents, with
10 behaviours or more? Or will the time be divided between agents?
Appreciate your help.
 
Regards,
