Help with timer function

[CyberCarsten]

Hi
I am trying to make my own timer function, but I am having a few problems with it....
First I create a function

int timer(int t, long current){
      long t2 = (GetTickCount) / 1000;

      if(t2-current >= t){
           return t;
}
}

Then I call the function:

timer(2,(GetTickCount)/1000); // pause for 2 seconds

Where t is the pause time, and current is the time where the function is called.

But nothing works....what am I doing wrong?
