How do I delay the execution of any method

[Zhenya]

How do I delay the execution of any method? So that when I called some method, it would not be executed immediately, but after n time.

Use Spin Locks.

There are different approaches depending on your needs.

If you want to trigger a method and continue (non-blocking), run the method as a Task,

Main(){
  _ = Task.Run(async() => {
    await Task.Delay(1000); //1 sec.
    YourMethod();
  });
}

Hello, hate to be a bother but Unigine tells me that 'Task' doesn't exist in the current context (been trying for ages to find a debounce method).

Do you have a reference to System.Threading?

I don't know that Tasks (used like above) would be good for things like debounce. You could be spinning up a lot of threads.
Rohit's Spin Locks, etc. are lower level and better suited.
