Wait

What if you would want to wait some seconds before something happening? let’s take a look at this script:

let script = {
    // The game starts here.
    "Start": [
        "Hello there! I want you to wait 5 seconds now",
        "wait 5000",
        "Wow, that was a long time!",
        "end"
    ]
};

The wait statement allows us to make the game wait for a certain amount of time before continuing. In this case, the first dialog will be shown, then, when the player continues, the wait statement will make it wait for 5 seconds and then the next dialog will be shown.

You may be wondering why it says 5000 instead of just 5 in order to wait 5 seconds, the reason behind it is that the wait statement accepts the time in milliseconds, therefore we have to make the conversion from seconds to milliseconds for it to work as we want.
