needs(code_samples);
Function Syntax
- secs is the number of seconds you want to delay further action.
This function will initiate a countdown from secs seconds to 0, during which time nothing else will be acted on. It essentially pauses a script. In addition, a countdown prints to the CLI at varying intervals (every 15 secs for large numbers, 5 seconds for smaller numbers and every second from 5 seconds down).
CLI Equivalent
The CLI command "wait" functions the same and can be used to pause basic .txt scripts.
