[Sheet workers] Delaying sheet workers

Is there any way to reliable delay execution of a function from within sheet workers? Using setTimeout() or _.delay() results in the sheet worker losing context, and you get the error message Character Sheet Error: Trying to do setAttrs when no character is active in sandbox. I mean, I could always just count to a billion or so, but that seems extremely wasteful.

Nope, you can't do anything that removes it from the current execution instance (well, except for the asynchronous sheetworkers of course). So, _.delay, Promises, async/await, etc. are all off the table. I'd love to see the ability to pass a this object to sheetworkers to force them to use a specific instance, then I think you could use delays and async/await which would drastically improve what you can do with sheetworkers. What problem are you trying to handle in your sheet Jakob?

Damn! Thanks for confirming this, though. I want to do a rest button that displays some feedback (change "Rest" to "Rested!" for a few seconds, then goes back to its initial state). I guess there might also be a solution using CSS transitions, but I was hoping to avoid that ... ah well. I'd love to see the ability to pass a this object to sheetworkers to force them to use a specific instance, then I think you could use delays and async/await which would drastically improve what you can do with sheetworkers. That'd be great. Promises alone would simplify some things considerably. And with async/await you could just tell everyone who is scared by asynchronicity to use those and pretend everything is synchronous :).
