Step 10 — Setting a pause between bites

To give your child character a chance to get away once the crab bites, we need to make the crab pause after he strikes. From the Control menu select Wait 1 Second and drag it directly below the Play Sound command. Boost the number of seconds to two to give your child a sporting chance of escaping before being bitten again. Now click the green play button and test it out.
