Timed Event?

I’d love to search for this on the forums but I dont know what I am searching for.

What do you call a “timed event” where say something is going to happen in 3 (or N) moves no matter what you do?

What is the term for that?

Thanks

A timed event. Or timer.

“Daemon” is an older term. Inform 7, at least, has moved away from it.

Oh, I forgot “fuse”. TADS uses that one.

Thank you that word “fuse” has helped me find a lot more information.
