How to use timers

[pseudocode]

But having a more accurate timer value doesn't help you actually wait.

In a script you can use hs.WaitSecs(delay) and it does accept a real number even though the documentation says it should be integer. So hs.WaitSecs(0.25) will wait for 1/4 second.

Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated.

Would a script written in notepad be as simple as this?

sub main()
hs.WaitSecs(2.25)
end sub

You can add an action like this in an event: Just change it to your 2.25 seconds.

That looks easy enough! Thank you Kevb and pseudocode.

This will allow me to fine tune my blinds and projector screen with blanking for various aspect ratios. This is a big deal for me!

Thank you all again for your help. You have made my day!

That by itself likely won’t delay subsequent actions. I *think* if you select “wait for script to finish” it will delay further actions.

Thank you Randy, I'll give that a try as well.
