Is there any sleep function in gazebo ?

I want to set an angular velocity for a model and then sleep for X seconds. Is this possible only using gazebo? Could you please give me a solution ? (for a sleep / delay function in gazebo, not for the example given earlier).

When you say sleep, do you mean that simulation should pause for a while, or your plugin should stop sending commands for a while?

I would like my plugin to stop sending commands for a while. Thanks for the question.

This is late but for anyone searching:

gazebo::common::Time::MSleep(unsigned int miliseconds);

However, this seems to have a limit (anyone with an insight??) so if you need anything > 1 second, do a for loop like:

for(int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) gazebo::common::Time::MSleep(unsigned int seconds);
