Are you intending to try to add it to the standard macro libray, or trying to create a new macro in a BP? Theres a +Macro button just like +Variable and +Function in each blueprint.

i try this on both , but its not working ,

You’re still in standard macros you need to create a macro from your event graph. When you are in the base event graph you would add a new macro and then you will be able to add a delay. Currently what you are doing is opening up a a preexisting macro, which opens up Standard Macros, and adding a new one to Standard Macros. You need to add a custom macro.

I stopped using delays few months back, they are tricky beast, you need to know where you can use them.
Instead i do simple trick:

Remember "delay started at " time in variable. For this i use game time seconds, because it adjusts with pause and slow down time stuff.

then use “nearly equal” node
plug “delay started at” and “current game time in seconds” to A & B
then plug " delay" value into tolerance pin.

“Nearly Equal” will give you TRUE when time is up. ie it will be false for “delay” seconds. or number you put in “tolerance” pin.

I am using “nearly equal” as different flavor of “compare float”, sometimes its much better (no execution path needed) sometimes worse.

Do you have a SS. I dont want to use, delay in for loop.

Thanks, zerofiftyone, that works for me.
