autoit: Add more seconds to Sleep() from a user inputted variable

Question

I use Sleep() through out my script. I have added a user input that allows the user to add more seconds to the Sleep()

Local $iDelayInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("0", 170, 75, 13, 20)
Local $delaySeconds = GUICtrlRead($iDelayInput)

I am trying to figure out how I can apply that to the Sleep() I have through out my script. I have

Sleep(5000+$delaySeconds&000)

but does not seem to work. Any ideas?

I believe the &000 is being treated like a string and being ignored, so you are probably getting only 5000 + the number the user enters. Try changing the Sleep command to this and see if it helps:

Sleep(5000+($delaySeconds*1000))

The line above takes the number entered by the user and multiplies it by 1000 to give you the number of milliseconds, then adds it to the existing 5000.
