    1: Name of the event in the mission.
    2: Number of seconds to delay before returning true.

Comments

There are serious issues with this SEXP and directive events, and as such it should be avoided for that use whenever possible. Using it will in many cases prevent the directive from appearing on the HUD until it is either completed or has failed.

For an explanation and how to get around these issues in FSO, see is-event-true-delay.
