                                 Delay

Known Subclasses:
  RandomDelay

Delays the action a certain amount of seconds

Example:

    action = Delay(2.5)
    sprite.do( action )

## Methods

| init(self, delay) Init method
| __reversed__(self)
| __add__(self, action) sequence operator - concatenates actions action1 + action2 -> action_result where action_result performs as: first do all that action1 would do; then perform all that action2 would do (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
| __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) dont override - use init (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
| __mul__(self, other) repeats ntimes the action action * n -> action_result where action result performs as: repeat n times the changes that action would do (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction)
| __or__(self, action) spawn operator - runs two actions in parallel action1 | action2 -> action_result (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
| done(self) When in the worker role, this method is reliable. (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction)
| start(self) External code sets self.target and then calls this method. (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
| step(self, dt) Dont customize this method: it will not be called when in the component role for certain composite actions (like Sequence_IntervalAction). (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction)
| stop(self) When the action must cease to perform this function is called by external code; after this call no other method should be called. (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
| update(self, t) Gets called on every frame 't' is the time elapsed normalized to [0, 1] If this action takes 5 seconds to execute, `t` will be equal to 0 at 0 seconds. (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.IntervalAction)

## Instance Variables

| target CocosNode object that is the target of the action (Inherited from cocos.actions.base_actions.Action)
