This can already be done by using a separate trigger, with the Time Since Flag condition. Trigger 1: does any instant effects, plus sets a flag value (FLAG ON or FLAG SET VALUE) Trigger 2: Condition: Time Since Flag (Flag, time) -> Effect

Not sure if you know that you posted to our forum group. If you want to join DCAF as an F-16 pilot you can do so, membership isn't handled here but instead through our discord https://discord.gg/jtXmJRKx If that's not what you had in mind then this is probably not the right place to ask questions you won't get many answers, anyway.

I'm relatively new to DCS, want to get into it as it promises a more detailed simulation than arma 3. I've played through (most of) the F/A-18 tutorials, but they sadly prove lacking on guided weapons. My skills generally require significant development. I'm hoping to find a group that accepts novice pilots, and that I can play with regularly. I play on European time, US time zones can't work unfortunately.
