   Hello all,

   I need to insert several time delays into my game
   from within a scheduled called method, for example...

   Display sprite1
   Wait 5 seconds
   Display sprite2
   Wait 3 seconds
   etc...

   I've tried using 'DelayTime' but it doesn't appear to work
   (i.e no delay occurs)

   My existing code is below:

   id timeDelay = [DelayTime actionWithDuration:5];
   id seq = [Sequence actions:timeDelay, nil];
   [mySprite runAction:seq];

   Any help would be much appreciated!

   Try using a sequence of actions:

   
IntervalAction *sequence = [Sequence actions:
[DelayTime actionWithDuration:5],
[CallFunc actionWithTarget:self selector:@selector(mySelector)],
nil]


   in the mySelector function get the code you need to run after the delay time.

   Regards,
   João

   Hi João,

   Thanks for your help.

   I've tried this code but the execution of the program is still not being delayed?

   Any other ideas?

   cheers,

   Not sure if this will fix it but I think delay is a float. Either way it better to define it properly rather than having it get converted.

   d timeDelay = [DelayTime actionWithDuration:5.0f];

   My silly mistake! I had forgotten to actually 'run' the sequence actions!!

   This appears to be working fine now (many thanks Caxaria), it would be great
   though if a more compact command could be added to a future version of Cocos2D
   which achieves the same thing, for example...

   [DelayTime actionWithDuration:5 selector:mySelector];

   cheers,

   dan
