C_Timer.After usage

[Mazzop]

if message:match("call1") then
			C_Timer.After(7, SendChatMessage(string.gsub(message, "call1", "call2"), "SAY"))
			C_Timer.After(15, SendChatMessage(string.gsub(message, "call1", "call3"), "SAY"))
end

and Bugger throws me:
1x SoAData\SoAData-1.3.lua:18: Usage: C_Timer.After(seconds, func)
[C]:: in function 'After'
SoAData\SoAData-1.3.lua:18: in function <SoAData\SoAData.lua:9

In that way i had used before http://www.wowwiki.com/USERAPI_wait (and its still working, just wondering how to use that new C_Timer.After)

So, i messed some commas or brackets, or just using it all wrong?

Your current code is calling SendChatMessage as soon as it it's executed and passing the return value (either nothing or nil) to C_Timer.After.

You need to wrap those SendChatMessage calls in functions and pass the function to C_Timer.After:

if message:match("call1") then
    C_Timer.After(7, function() SendChatMessage(string.gsub(message, "call1", "call2"), "SAY") end)
    C_Timer.After(15, function() SendChatMessage(string.gsub(message, "call1", "call3"), "SAY") end)
end

thanks , was thinking SendChatMessage is function themselves

SendChatMessage is a function, but you were calling it immediately instead of passing a callback function that calls SendChatMessage.

SendChatMessage is a function, like this:

function SendChatMessage(...)
end

But this is a function call:

SendChatMessage("hi")

/dump math.floor

=function

but

/dump math.floor(1.5)

= 1
