Methods

publicblink

• blink(timeVisible: number, timeNotVisible: number, numBlinks?: number): ActionContext

• Inherited from Pick.blink

  This method will cause an actor to blink (become visible and not visible). Optionally, you may specify the number of blinks. Specify the amount of time the actor should be visible per blink, and the amount of time not visible. This method is part of the actor 'Action' fluent API allowing action chaining.

  ---

  Parameters

  • timeVisible: number

    The amount of time to stay visible per blink in milliseconds

  • timeNotVisible: number

    The amount of time to stay not visible per blink in milliseconds

  • numBlinks: number = 1

    The number of times to blink

  Returns ActionContext

publiccallMethod
