[SOLVED] Help with delay

Question

So, I was creating a upgrade controller for my clicker game, and I have a pause in the script OS.delay_msec() it waits for one second before running adding points (Almost like an auto clicker), but here it pauses everything, I can’t click in the one second it delays. If someone could help me, that would be great!

Code

extends Control

@export var LABEL : Label
@export var MULTIPLIER : int = 0
@export var POINTS : int = 0
@export var AUTO_CLICKERS : int = 0

func add_points():
	POINTS += 1 + MULTIPLIER

func auto_click():
	if AUTO_CLICKERS > 0:
		OS.delay_msec(1000)
		POINTS += AUTO_CLICKERS

func update_label():
	LABEL.text = "Points: %s" % POINTS

func _ready():
	pass

func _process(_delta):
	update_label()
	auto_click()

func _on_clicker_pressed():
	add_points()

Could you make this a Timer node and a connect to the timeout signal? Sounds more appropriate for an auto clicker.

It worked. I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this earlier? Thanks!
