Any ways to set an action for Wait a certain time?

------------------------------------- EN FRANCAIS:

Ok, j'explique mon souhait, actuellement j'écris une simple application dans MMF2 qui est basée sur une action chronométrée quand une image est prise par l'objet de l'extension Surface qui la sauvegardera alors.

Je veux que MMF2 fasse une pause (PAS vraiment une pause, mais une fausse-pause) avant l'action de SAUVEGARDE. (et dans la même condition).

Donc, je veux que MMF2 attende disons.. 10 secondes

Imaginez ce comportement:

+ Quand l'Objet est Cliqué
- MET EN PAUSE L'APPLICATION POUR 10 SECONDES <---- c'est là que je ne peux pas faire en sorte que les choses fonctionnent sans geler toutes les animations des objets actifs.
- SURFACE SAUVEGARDE L'IMAGE (capture de zone).

Merci!

------------------------------------- IN ENGLISH:

Ok, I explain my wish, actually I wrote in MMF2 a simple application which is time action related when a picture taken by the Surface object is saved.

I want MMF2 take a pause (NOT really a pause, but a fake-pause) before the SAVING action. (in same conditions).

So, I want MMF2 wait for a ... 10 seconds

Imagine that behavior:

+ When Object is Clicked
- PAUSE THE APP FOR 10 SECONDS <---- it's here I can't do the things work without freeze all active objets which is animated.
- SURFACE SAVE THE PICTURE (zone-based)

Thanks!

Interesting way HadHaw, thanks I will perhaps use your trick!

Zem: what is it ? An extension ? Where I can find it? Thanks too

Zem: Hey, thanks for the tips, I now managed to make a true fonctionnal method like yours!

I manage to make a functionnal method like that one given by Zem: It is the use of an extension named Function EggTimer, which permit delayed event !
Greatly working like that!

500 event loops is: 10 seconds (BECAUSE my APP run at 50 Frame Per Seconds, and in Function EggTimer, a stack of FPS is 1 second in reality).

Workflow like that:

+ When Object is Clicked
- *** My events here...
- Call "waitSaving" after 500 event loops

and in an another Condition-based event

+ On function "waitSaving"
- SURFACE SAVE THE PICTURE (zone-based)

Hmm, interesting way aswell, perhaps change my mind about my method, so.. If it is so easy as hell, why MMF2 don't have a Built-In action like that ? Thanks

Ah yes Zem, but it is not an Action, it is a Condition finally, it's always same problem: Unable to make a pause (which not freeze the app) as an action line
Actually only methods with Function EggTimer extension's object do the trick (perhaps the solution of Konidias too)

Yes Konidias, agree totally
