We want the Wagon to start moving halfway through Cue 2, but also complete with everything else.

{% hint style="info" %}
A **Time Link** starts a timer when a Parent Cue is executed and executes the Child Cue after the timer has ran the set amount of delay time. Cue 2 is considered the **Parent Cue**, while Cue 3, the is **Child Cue.**
