When you put the sleep command into the activation field for a trigger, you always get "Error 'Generic error' in expression"
The Activation script still seems to work flawless. But it display the error when "showScriptErrors" is on.

From ARMA 2 experience, you cannot use 'sleep' inside a trigger. So I guess this is by design.
If you need to use sleep, then in act field of the trigger, call for an external sqf instead. Or use something like spawn{sleep 1}... I dont know how to use spawn, but vaguely remember someone use it like that.

Well, what you said sounds pretty reasonable.
for example "[] spawn {sleep 2; // do something};" works perfect.
I guess this Issue is nonsense then. My bad.
