To delay a loop just once before it starts put a "Wait(ms)" outside the
loop, wire the "millisecond timer value output" to the anywhere on the
loop's border. Now the loop can't executue until the timer has executed
because the loop is waiting for it's new input to be ready.
The next problem is getting the timer to start when you want it to and
not when the pogram is f
irst run. This requires that we have some data
flow to trigger the timer. To do this put a single sequence around the
timer and connect the wire which is acting as a dataflow source to
anywhere on the frame of the sequence. Now the timer can't trigger until
the dataflow reaches the sequence and the loop can't execute until
the timer has finished.
The other way is to use a two frame sequence with the wait in the first
frame and the loop in the second. It probably depends if that would make
your diagram easier to understand or not 🙂
