Examples
Simple example:
/delay 7 Delays the macro for 7 tenths of a second /delay 2s Delays the macro for 2 seconds /delay 3m Delays the macro for 3 minutes
Examples using MQ Data:
/delay ${Math.Rand[10]}s Delays the macro for a random amount of seconds in the range of 0 to 10
/delay ${Math.Calc[${Math.Rand[10]}+5]}s Delays the macro for a random amount of seconds in the range of 5 to 15
The below example will hold down the forward key and will execute "/keypress forward" (press forward once) when
${Spawn[1234].Distance} \< ${Spawn[1234].MaxMeleeTo} evaluates to TRUE or after 1 second passes.
/keypress forward hold
/delay 1s ${Spawn[1234].Distance}<${Spawn[1234].MaxMeleeTo}
/keypress forward
