[Javascript] causing script to pause before moving to next command

[Trey H]

David,
You might want to use a setTimeout() command to pause the script before it 
does its action.  Play around a little with the amount of milliseconds to 
pause it, because you might need it to be long or short depending on the 
sound.  Here is what the code might look like:

if (player[sy][sx][0] < 100) {
/* Hit something */
/* need to have set timeout here to delay setting image and playing sound */
setImage(sy,sx,103,false);
setTimeout("playSound(0)", 20); /*  Pause for 20 millaseconds */
