I've been working on the !delay script for a while and trying out different applications of it. Here is a link to the thread with the scripts code. (You can also find the macros for most if not all of the below applications of !delay) Here are the various ways in which I've made use of the script. You can't really use !delay on its own its use depends entirely on delaying other scripts from triggering for a determined amount of time. Anyways here's a list of what I have used it for so far Spawn Undead Battlefield <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69KWnSdvoYM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69KWnSdvoYM</a> Black Dragon Fleeing, Minions Spawning <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu8W5uqVK74" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bu8W5uqVK74</a> Banishing a Demon in a Circle of Protection from Evil <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpen1SzJ61U" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpen1SzJ61U</a> Flashing Spurts of Lightning at Night <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJiRDGSbOTA" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJiRDGSbOTA</a> Enemy Airship Approaching, Matching Speed &amp; Lowering Gangplank <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKUJhGoFqD4" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKUJhGoFqD4</a> Water Room Trap <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThrXzdfQfYE" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThrXzdfQfYE</a> Ghost Flickering In and Out of the Material Plane (Still working on this one) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUw4cHgyzs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNUw4cHgyzs</a> Final Fantasy 3 (FF6 JP) inspired Trap from Narshe Caves Puzzle <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YDoUrvQLiM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YDoUrvQLiM</a> (^^^ follow the path of the wisp or get shot by an arrow from a trap in the wall and get teleported back to entrance of room.) I'm looking for more ideas and suggestions of what I could do by delaying other scripts. The first script in the list that spawns undead uses / delays the following script commands: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !tl &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !token-mod &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !cfx &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !sfx &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !kaboom &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !screenshake &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !ping &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; !fade So I'm not limited in what scripts I can delay for the most part. Any ideas or suggestions for !delay would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for new and interesting ways to use !delay and I'm having a hard time coming up with anything new.

Very powerful and smart use of API scripting. Nice video examples! Wow! Subscribing your YouTube, while I figure out how-when-where to use this in my games. (So many possibilities, just a matter of planning ahead and learning how to use !delay script).
So much good stuff!
