There are two pieces of data - the think function and the think time.
You have to set both.
For goldsrc:
// this will schedule a think right away
SetThink ( &CCan::CanThink );
pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time;
If you want the think function to get called again every second then you
need to reschedule the call in CanThink
void CCan::CanThink()
{
//...
pev->angles = angles;
ALERT(at_console,"Can Thinking...");
// think again in 1 second
pev->nextthink = gpGlobals->time + 1;
}
Source has the same concept, but also adds multiple think contexts (an
entity can be processing more than one think simultaneously) and the
syntax is a bit different.
