Delay can be accomplished with "follow path." 1) Put an ellipse morph at 100@100 2) Give it a path from present location straight up to top of screen. 3) Create script named "delay" for ellipse Ellipse do menu item follow existing path Ellipse x <- 100 Ellipse y <- 100 4) Put a rectangle morph at bottom center of screen 5) Create script for rectangle Ellipse delay Rectangle forward by 5
Click on ! to execute rectangle script. Ellipse follows path and returns to 100@100, delaying move of rectangle.

Approaches from other systems do not always map well. E.g., a typical approach to implement PacMan would be to have PacMan object with a script to eat peas. In Etoys it's a lot easier for each pea to have a script checking if it was eaten. So if you could let us know, in high-level terms, what the intended behavior is, we might be able to come up with ideas how to do that in Etoys. - Bert - On 08.04.2011, at 21:40, michael rice wrote: Thanks.

If not, are there any plans for one? I saw these two posts last year.
