Category: Listener Tier: Basic
Purpose¶
Waits a specified number of ticks before activating, optionally staying active for a duration, with optional repeating.
Visual Reference¶
As added to your scene
When To Use¶
Delayed actions (enemy spawns after 5 seconds)
Cooldown timers (ability can’t be used again for 3 seconds)
Timed events (door closes after 2 seconds)
Pulsing effects (flash light every 0.5 seconds with repeat=true)
Runtime Behavior¶

Example Use Cases¶
Basic Delay:
Always -> AND -> Delay(delay=120) -> Motion
// Wait 2 seconds, then move once
Repeating Timer:
Delay(delay=30, duration=0, repeat=true) -> AND -> Visibility
// Toggle visibility every 0.5 seconds
Cooldown System:
Keyboard(Space) -> AND -> Delay(delay=180, duration=0) -> Sound
// Jump sound can only play once every 3 seconds
