Wait 2.2 seconds waits 6 seconds

I looked around the forums for the answer to this because I remember a while ago reading that Wait might not be reliable.

But now I can't find any posts about it.

What would cause my wait command to take longer than the seconds defined?

I found that it does this when I build a cocoon APK. Yet the launcher is fine. Could it be a CocoonJS problem?

The only thing which ought to do this is if you change the time scale. That also affects wait times. Otherwise, share a .capx!

Usually I use "wait 1000 * dt" or something, could you try that? If I'm not mistaken, you should use 300000 * dt to get 5 seconds (really unsure though).

andreyin, I don't think that's a good idea! I'm pretty sure Ashley built this into the system, which means you are multiplying by dt squared!

Oh, I didn't know! Was it always like that?

andreyin - that is definitely wrong! 'Wait' already takes a time in seconds, so there's no need to use dt. Your examples will have a strange and probably random effect on the wait times.

So far I haven't had any wait problems.

Could it be what Ashley said? That you had adjusted your time scale? Since time scale is the only thing that could be adjusting it relative to your delta time.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies.

The time scale is normal. I think it might be a CocoonJS problem. I'll build a sample capx copying the problem and see if it behaves the same as my main project.

I did a test. Looks like the game lags while loading assets. I play an intro sequence that overlays the loading screen, and these frames need to wait specific times before changing.

I made a "hack" on the load screen and modified the time scale to counter the slowness.
