What is Delay for, how is measured and how do you properly use it?

[Threule]

The questions in the title.
I try to put numbers as  if it worked but nothing happens :/

Milliseconds I think
A delay of 3000 is 3 seconds

[Threule]

stuff I've been meassuring it wrong all the time
If for example, there is two "on activate" events, If I put a delay of 3s to it, will it only be activable with that event after 3s then return to the first one if activated again?

[Port]

It will just delay the second event by 3 seconds. You can activate it as much as you want.

[Threule]

Do you know how to make it so you can't activate it before 3 seconds?

[Port]

toggleEventEnabled

toggleEventEnabled

That can easily mess up everything if you don't use it completely right. You'd be better off by using setEventEnabled

[Twerky]

If I understand you correctly this is what you want to happen.

You probably want something else to happen but I used setlight to clear it up.

The light will turn on 3 seconds after the brick is activated
The light will stay on because there's no other event after line 1.

[Port]

toggleEventEnabled | 2? There is no third event.

[Twerky]

Oh right my bad, the number 2 in the box should be 1
I didn't test it

Not exactly. I want something so the brick can't be activated again before 3 secs. I'm using Phydeoux doors and switches, and I dont want switch spam.

0  |  0  |  onActivate  |  [action]
1  |  0  |  onActivate  |  Self  |  toggleEventEnabled  |  0 1
2  |  3000  |  onActivate  |  Self  |  toggleEventEnabled  |  0 1

[Threule]

It uses two actions, open and close, should I put the close one behind the no2 event?

[Greek2me]

You could always do this instead:

Code: [Select]

0 onActivate  do_your_stuff_here
0 onActivate  Self  setRayCasting  false
3000 onActivate  Self  setRayCasting  true
Disabling raycasting for three seconds will prevent players from clicking on it.

I see. Gotta try it myself
