Wait

Stub

This article or section is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

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

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

Warning: 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, the engine will crash.

Workaround:Use a script that detects if wait is enabled.

alias wait_enabled [commands to run when wait is enabled] alias wait "alias wait_enabled; [commands to run when wait is disabled]" wait 0; wait_enabled
