delay

Passes each message on unchanged, after a wait.

Properties

• delay (ms) — how long to hold each message, in milliseconds. Default 1000. Must be 1 or more. A fraction is rounded down.

Wiring

Input — any message.

Output — the same message, after the wait.

Behavior

The wait holds the whole chain the message is in, back to its source. The source sends nothing new until the message has gone all the way through. A timer set to 200 ms, wired into a 5000 ms delay, sends a message every 5.2 seconds, not every 200 ms.

Messages from different chains don't wait for each other, even when they pass through the same delay node.

Errors

• The delay is less than 1. Deploy stops with property "delayMs" 0 is below its minimum, 1, naming the node.
