Time Delays in Scripts?

With formula's, specifically URL formulas, is there a way to add some kind of delay? I need something to give my automation time to run. It would also be useful to have some kind of UI feed back for...

APIs and custom code

Interesting, but this is a delay to refresh correct? Can this be used to delay the redirecting of the URL? (And yes it is just one, takes you to a different form)

That code will just refresh the page after a delay, it will not redirect.

Ah, so is there no way in code to just have it wait a specific amount of time before continuing on?

Rough example:
Time.Out=5
URLRoot...etc...

So basically the system would wait 5 seconds and then move on to the next line of code.

  I believe that you would need to use real javascript for that.
  is there a way to use steps in an Automation to accomplish your goal? So the URL button would just trigger the Automation and then the Automation can have all the steps.

    Well the automation will do everything that I need. I just want something to prevent the users from going on too soon. It's sometimes hard to get them to wait for automations since you have to keep refreshing.
    
    I'm basically just trying to create some kind of stall so the user most likely waits for the time I set.
