Timing scripted events?

[Soldier Mercenary]

Hey, I'm unsure if this is even possible, but I was wondering if there is any way to time a scripted event? Here's an example:

Let's say I press a button that activates a script to open a door. Is there a way to have that door open a certain amount of time after the button has been pressed?

Same goes for any other types of scripts. (Playing sounds, spawning monsters, etcetera.)

Any answers are greatly appreciated! Have a great day/night!

I would do that with a voodoo doll closet, but by the sound of it you are using actual scripting. ^^

If you're using Zdoom script you can use "Delay()"

 

For example...

 

script 1 (void)
{

   Delay(25);
   Floor_RaiseToLowestCeiling (5,64);
}  

 

The timing is in game tics.

Those both seem to be very viable options! With that being said, I think I've gotten my answer! I appreciate the tips.

Thank you!
