• This function is often used to wait until a currently-open menu is closed, by waiting for a small amount of time (eg 0.001 or so).
  • Crafting menus, conversations, and certain other IU "menus" do not count as menus for this purpose, since they do not pause the game. See Utility.IsInMenuMode() for alternative detection methods.
• Wait time isn't precise, based on framerate and general Papyrus system workload.
• A wait time of 0 won't actually wait (??? check: even if in a menu?), and will just return immediately.

There is a veritable plethora of ways that scripts, actors and the PC may wait. These include:

• Wait - console command.
• Wait (Procedure) - causes an actor to wait a number of real-world, non-menu seconds.
• Utility.WaitGameTime(...) - like this command, but measures in game-time.
• Utility.WaitMenuMode(...) - like this command, but will count time spent in menus.
• SoundCategory.Pause() - causes a sound to pause indefinitely.
• Latent Functions - perform many common operations and wait for them to complete.
• Events - permit scripts to register for, and wait for, in-game events.
  • OnUpdateGameTime - Form - In particular, an event can be set for a timer.
• Utility.GetCurrentRealTime()/Utility.GetCurrentGameTime() - can be used for creating your own timers.
• Scene Timer Action Fragments - let you perform timing within scenes.
• Sleep (Procedure) - causes the Actor to sleep, and may work on the PC.
• SetPCSleepHours - causes game time to pass as if the PC is sleeping or waiting.
• Game.ServeTime() - causes game time to pass as if the PC is serving time in jail.
