Stub

Stop command parsing for next N frames (or ticks, when run from a dedicated server).

Syntax

Syntax: wait <number>

If the parameter is omitted, it defaults to 1 tick.

Example Usage

+duck; wait 150; -duck

Caveats

  • Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Portal 2 wait isn't available in CS:GO or Portal 2 (despite sv_allow_wait_command still being present and enabled)


Warning.pngWarning: Some servers disable the wait command by using the cvar sv_allow_wait_command 0. If you use a looping script (which relies on wait) on a server with wait disabled, your game will crash.
PlacementTip.pngWorkaround: Use a wait tester to test beforehand whether or not the wait command is enabled. You may automate the process by hooking the aliases provided by the wait tester.
