public static void SetDelay<U>(this U playable, double delay) where U : struct, IPlayable
```

### Parameters

**** (T): The [Playable](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/playables/playable.md) used by this operation.**** (\[double]\(https\://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.double)): The delay in seconds.
