# Wait N ### Signature ``` {waitn(type):[seconds]} ``` ### Description Waits x seconds before displaying the next characters. ### Arguments #### Type The are a total of 8 types (0 -> 7) which control how the seconds argument is processed. If its higher than 0, e.g. 1 (common), the seconds value will be directly used. If its 0 (very rare), the seconds value will be used as a reference to a list that holds the real value. This argument is optional, and will equal the value `1` if non-existent. #### Seconds The amount of seconds that will be awaited. If the type is higher than 0, the number range is -128 -> 127. If its 0, the number range is 0 -> 127. ### Notes {% hint style="danger" %} Although it's possible to use a negative number as seconds, doing so results in an integer overflow and a massive amount of wait time. {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
