# Duration (parameter) **Duration** is an option available for almost all conditions, allowing to set a "wait time" until the corresponding condition becomes valid (instead of becoming valid instantly). {% embed url="" %} If you set up a `minimum duration required` it means that the given condition needs to remain true for this amount of time in order for the condition to be considered valid. Example: the user needs to look at an object for at least 2 seconds in order for a door to open. {% hint style="info" %} *If you have multiple objects in your condition, then the duration time is required for each one of them in order to validate the condition.* {% endhint %} **If condition turns false:** here you decide what happens if during the duration time the condition turns false. * **Reset count:** the count is reset to 0. * **Keep Progress:** The amount of time the condition remained valid is kept in memory and if condition is true again then it accumulates until it reaches the duration time. * **Decrease progressively:** the count decreases progressively with a speed factor. These options are useful for game mechanics where you want the user to fulfill something for at least a given amount of time to progress/win. If the user does not, then you decide if the progress is kept in memory or not. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://unity.zoeimmersive.com/adding-interactivity/interactions/conditions/duration-parameter.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
