Please document how to specify event posting delays

[PinGizmos]

From looking at some of the sample configs, it looks like there is a way to specify a delay in posting events in the event_player. For example:

event_player:
  some_posted_event:
    event_to_be_posted|100ms

Is this "piping" of a delay time officially supported? If so, can you please add it to the docs?

Thanks

Researching this for you.

I think this works only in a few places:

• Specifically in event_player. This is logic inside the player.
• This is also implemented device_control_events (https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/dev/config/instructions/device_control_events.html). You can find out in the config reference if something is a device_control_event type. Most xxx_events properties are.

Maybe more places but I don't recall any. I totally agree that the documentation could be better here and this also confused me in the past.

Just mentioning that this doco could also reference the delay available in actioning events in some devices, such as reset_events:
