Caveats

CK Wiki - Notes

  • Wait time isn't precise, based on framerate and general Papyrus system workload
  • A wait time of 0 won't actually wait, and just return immediately
  • The time will be affected by the global time modifier. So if, for example, VATS fires off and slows down time, it will affect these calls as well.

Parameters

floatafSeconds

CK Wiki Description

How long to wait, in real-time seconds.


Examples
