Delay Properties

JSON path: delay

Name	Default Value	Type	Description
block_assist_chance	0	Decimal number	Chance that the entity will look for nearby blocks that can speed up the transformation. Value must be between 0.0 and 1.0
block_chance	0	Decimal number	Chance that, once a block is found, will help speed up the transformation
block_max	0	Integer number	Maximum number of blocks the entity will look for to aid in the transformation. If not defined or set to 0, it will be set to the block radius
block_radius	0	Integer number	Distance in Blocks that the entity will search for blocks that can help the transformation
block_types	not set	Array of strings	List of blocks that can help the transformation of this entity
range_max	0	Decimal number	Time in seconds to be added to value to have the maximum random time range value until the entity transforms (if non-zero then the time in seconds before the entity transforms will be random between v...
range_min	0	Decimal number	Time in seconds to be added to value to have the minimum random time range value until the entity transforms (if non-zero then the time in seconds before the entity transforms will be random between v...
value	0	Decimal number	Time in seconds before the entity transforms

range_max

Time in seconds to be added to value to have the maximum random time range value until the entity transforms (if non-zero then the time in seconds before the entity transforms will be random between value+range_min and value+range_max).

range_min

Time in seconds to be added to value to have the minimum random time range value until the entity transforms (if non-zero then the time in seconds before the entity transforms will be random between value+range_min and value+range_max).
