delaying proximity reaction makes sensor unresponsive for the time of delay

[jelly]

Jeff, thank you very much! It works perfectly, I have adapted it for my script:

def delayTask():
	global handstate
	yield viztask.waitTime(2)
	handstate = 1
	print '2 seconds elapsed'
	yield viztask.waitTime(0.7)
	handstate = 0

def proximityTask():
	while True:
		yield vizproximity.waitEnter(SensorIndexFinger)
		print 'entered sensor'
		viztask.schedule(delayTask())

viztask.schedule(proximityTask())

I think I had a good intuition that I needed two steps or two functions to implement this, but I was stuck thinking that I needed the "manager.onEnter". Thanks again!
