Cancel delayFrames before script runs?

General TouchDesigner Discussion

Working on timing and delays for my UI.

Question about using delayFrames argument in a run method.
Is there a way to cancel the delay before the script is run?
I think what I need is the kill() method but not sure how to implement.
If you have one script that starts the delay like so
op(‘scriptNeedingDelay’).run(delayFrames=100)

you can’t simply go from another script
op(‘scriptNeedingDelay’).kill()

You might be better of using the Timer CHOP if you need to cancel the delay from other scripts.

The run() method returns a ‘Run Object’ Run Class - Derivative. You can use this returned object to control the execution of that instance of running the script, including cancelling it with kill()
