Trigger an action with a button after a certain time

[tigrikrek]

Hello.
Can't do what I want. I can not understandt how to make the action run after a while when the button is pressed.
In my case, the button starts the stopwatch. It is necessary that after pressing the button, the stopwatch starts after 4 seconds.
My blocks:

Clock 1 is a stopwatch
Clock 2 - I wanted to set the time to turn on

How will a clock instant ever equal 4000 ?

For doing math on time, Clock1.SystemTime works better.
Add 4000 to it to get the SystemTime you want for your deadline, and compare that against current SystemTime for before/after comparisons.

The clock.now not returning time ?

[tigrikrek]

I'm afraid to break the stopwatch by making changes to clock 1, which is responsible for the stopwatch

Understood your idea. But to implement...
Add 4000 through plus? Or what method?

You could do it with one clock timer....

Made according to your example, it turns out the stopwatch starts after 4 seconds, but then it counts 4 seconds and starts again. That is, the condition for execution is always suitable. I also looked at your example on the phone, there is also a loop there.

Thanks for the idea, I'll try
