Hello,
For the demonstration application of my LAC project, I will need a “wait” block !
I think it was already there before, but it’s been deleted.
If anyone knows of an equivalent method to add a delay of one or two seconds, let me know!
Thanks 
Use a clock. And please don’t vote for this, it was removed because it wasn’t allowing extensions to work right on the Companion.

As Nathan said, use a Clock. However, I hope the block will return, because bugs in the Companion don’t affect production APKs in any way.
This extension also offer that!

Yeah, and it has way more features. But yours only work with procedures (what is not a problem).

I don’t think the wait block is healthy. Because you will fill the stack and hang the CPU.
Why is a wait procedure generally a bad idea?

I made an asynchronous time pause that does not execute on the UI thread. The explanation makes sense if there is everything is running from the same thread pool like using a sleep command.
However asynchronous activities are possible and that includes a pause.
You can also use event schedulers, that will not run synchronously.
It’s true. Waiting, even timers will cause a little lag.
Try this. it is an asynch pause.
While there might be a tiny bit of lag, this will not prevent other actions from occuring, while the pause is happening.
