What's the best way to delay sending a message? (Weak Auras custom function)

[Ryme]

Greetings,

I'm just wondering what the best way to delay sending a chat message after a fixed number of seconds would be? Just creating a weakaura to send a chat message to another raider, but I want to send it a certain number of seconds after the event has triggered.

I'm assuming I have to create some kind of ghetto delay function, but right now all I'm doing is freezing my client like an idiot

I've used the SlashIn mod for sending delayed raid messages, I assume the same can be done for a whisper.

Whoops, misunderstood the question.

If you're creating a WA region just for this, you set the duration, and then have it send the chat message for "On Finish" or whatever it's called in the other tab.

Aye, but I'd prefer not to get another addon involved if I can.

Wow, I was going about this the wrong way, thanks!
