Hello,

I am trying to make a script pause before continuing (similar to the “wait()” function in Roblox Lua) but I cannot figure it out. I was directed to the Timer node but the problem with this is that I do not want to call a function when the time is over, I just want to continue the script.

Any help would be appreciated!

Just yield() for the Timer’s timeout signal:

my_timer.start()
yield(my_timer, "timeout")
# rest of code to execute here

It’s not recommended that you do this inside of _process() or _physics_process().
