I'd like to know how to make Girder wait a few seconds before firing the next command in a multigroup.
The program I'm waiting for is TvTool which doesn't have a window I could target. I'd like to start it, wait, make it go to tv. Unfortunately it just starts, and then nothing more, because it doesnt wait for the program to be fired up.

1. What exactly does the "antirepeat wait time" option do? I cannot get it to do anything.

2. Any ideas how to make it wait for a set period of time?

Thanx in advance and merry xmas!

The wait command on the Girder tab does this.

The antirepeat is just for setting a delay before Girder executes the action that is mapped to the event again if the button on the remote is not released.

I'm sorry, WAIT is one the Window tab!

How did you get the "wait" to work?

The bits before my wait command work and the bits after. But if I try to run it as a whole, it doesn't.

Any ideas?

Hm no not really. My multigroup's commands now work peachy both before and after the command who performs the Wait.

This is normally caused by targeting problems. Try changing the targeting options for the window you are waiting on. Unfortunately, there is no one answer as to which options to use for every program so you kind of have to play with it.
