Relative time

[kbluck]

Is there a way to delay triggered events by a relative time hack? "Clock" event triggers all seem to be absolute time.

For example, perhaps a trigger fires, and I want the orders in response to actually execute, say 3 minutes later to allow a smoke screen to develop.

I don't think there is a way to do it directly, but perhaps somebody has a trick up their sleeve.

Actually, I did think of one method.

You have a "platoon of one" set up somewhere to do something, like emplace, but with "Do Not Emplace" SOP set. The first trigger toggles off the SOP. The emplacement takes a certain amount of time. The real order is set to trigger on a callback snapshot that fires when the emplacement is complete.

A bit Goldbergian, but it would probably work. Anybody got anything better?

I'm taking notes. :D

There currently is no way, but, I'm taking notes, too.
