Does a delay (a latent action) block execution?

In blueprints does a latent action, most predominantly a “delay” block execution? In other words, will the next node of a delay node be executed only when that delay time has elapsed? Thanks in advance.

Pretty much yes.

You are right of course. I didn’t phrase my question properly. What I meant to say was whether the delay will block execution of the entire program or just this “thread”/line that contains the delay node itself. Of course you answered correctly. But for anybody else googling this, the delay will not block your entire program, it will be free to execute other sections/threads. Only the next nodes following the delay node will really be ‘delayed’.
