The WAIT command allow you to temporarily pause the execution of an Event Code block for a set period of time.

 

The required period of time is given in number of seconds required. This is an approximate time; the actual pause time will be at least that required but could be slightly more.

 

For example ..

 

 

The pause will not affect any other Event Code block being executed at the same time.

 

Note: The WAIT command has been included to give flexibility to the user to allow a delay if needed in certain situations, but generally it's not recommend to pause execution of any Event Code blocks just incase the event is re-triggered while pausing. If the pause is too long this can cause the event buffer to overflow and events will be missed!
