Delaying code using the "~"

[-~1ncognito~-]

In the Official command reference it states under
script syntax:
Delay: line starting with '~'.
Example: ~delay is equivalent to _waitUntil = _ time +
(cas) ; & _waitUntil

so how would I use this? I want to delay a line for the
Initialization of an object. Also, could it be used between
statements in a line? example:
a = 1; b = 2; c = 3
could I just delay b = 2 or would I have to delay the entire
line? Any help would be great

You can use it (~) only in script. Not in init line or in function.

hmm... so I can't do it outside of a script? That sucks. Thanks
for helping me out though!

yup..in my early days i tried it in trigger init/condition and didn&#39;t work.

another way would be having a trigger activated after certain time elapses. create a trigger, and in the middle, there whould be a setting called &#39;countdown&#39; and another one right below it. choose the one that is below &#39;countdown&#39; and set the time on the right (in seconds)

what happens is when conditions are satisfied, it&#39;ll wait until given time passes and will activate the activation commands.

What i was really trying to do was delay an animation
on the plane I am making. I wanted the landing gear to
be animated using event handlers, but I still haven&#39;t found
a way to have the gear retract and then have the
doors close. I need to delay the animation of the doors
by 2 seconds when the gear goes up and delay the gear
3 seconds when the gear is lowered. Does anyone have more
information about animations? I&#39;ve tried many things, but
It still doesn&#39;t work
