WAIT

WAIT is a CAOS command often used in timer scripts to get the object to wait a certain number of ticks before continuing the script. This number of ticks is an integer, a whole number. In C3 and Docking Station, WAIT also performs the same function as SLOW, turning off the "INSTantaneous" mode of code running.

Note that waits can be interrupted and left in a weird state, or if the waits are LOCKed against interruption in a push/pull/hit/eat script, creatures can't interact with the object that is waiting.
