Gameplay

This class in other games:

UE2Runtime, U2, UT2004

A latent action for AIScripts that waits for a certain amount of time to pass.

Note: For some reason this action was implemented to not only complete when the time interval has passed, but also earlier if it was preceded by an ACTION_WaitForEvent and the same event as specified in the WaitForTrigger action is triggered again when the WaitForTimer action is active. If this causes problems with your script sequence, try using the custom class ACTION_WaitOnlyForTimer instead.

Properties

Property group 'Action'

PauseTime

Type: float

The time interval that must pass before this action completed. Waiting time may be reduced due to the "trigger completion" feature mentioned above.
