I think there is a command "wait" e.g.

wait 2 seconds
wait 120 ticks
--120 ticks = 2 seconds, 60 ticks per second

or
put 0 into i
repeat until i = 120
wait 1 tick
add 1 to i
end repeat

because of the loop this will be a little more than 2 seconds actually. This
definitely will work and is usually "good enough".


Set the card script to include these handlers


on opencard
wait 5 seconds
pass openscard
go next
end opencard


on closecard
wait 1 second
pass closecard
end closecard

you can also add visual effects.
