Calling timers in scripts

I need to send a series of CAN messages with a delay in between each message to avoid issues with the scan time of the controller I'm sending them to.  I have a state machine working pretty well, but I feel like doing things like this in the future would be more efficient (or at least less tedious) using scripting.  I read in some old forum post that delays don't work in scripting, because it just queues event calls?  Is there a way to send CAN messages using the FreeFormCANIDs object?

 

 

 

My goal would be to emulate the functionality above in a script.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  In the end I don't think what I was trying to do via script is possible, but to call a timer which can then fire its associated action is done via:  SendAction(ApplicationIDs.CCM, ActionIDs.CCM_Start_Timer, TimerIDs.MyTimerVariable);
