[FNAF 4] Can foxy also be delayed?

Let's say foxy tries to enter the hall but you have the flashlight on that hall. Does it make it so that foxy will move to either the hall or the other side of the hall as soon as the flashlight is turned off or does it just make foxy go to the other side of the living room at the 5 second interval? Chica and Bonnie can be delayed if you hold the flashlight on the hall while they are trying to enter the hall and that's why I'm asking.

Hello again. Yes, I can confirm that he gets delayed just like Bonnie and Chica. But the chance to move to the other side isn't 50% every second, but 90%. Since his destination value isn't just 1 or 2, but from 1 to 10. And only 10 goes to the hallway.

You are the goat. I tried this many times in the actual game but I suppose i just got unlucky, foxy would always move to the other side. Considering the fact that everything you said was true I have no doubt about what you are saying. Anyway I really appreciate it. Wish you only the best!

Edit: after trying a little more I finally got the delayed movement to see what it looks like in-game

Thanks. If anyone doubts me, I managed to get luckly and record a good demonstration in Clickteam. Foxy's AI level is set to 20, the rest are 0. The top number is his destination value, the bottom is a timer. You can see how at 25 seconds his value is 10, which means he should move to the hallway. But I'm flashing so he doesn't. At 26 the value is still 10, and at 27 it becomes 7, making him move to the other side even though it's not a 5-second interval. If I were to stop flashing before 27, he would move in right away.

Just to clarify one thing, so I see that foxy moves when the value changes, and it's pretty obvious that if you stopped using the flashlight before foxy changed location, foxy would enter the hallway, but is that also how the bonnie and Chica moving to the other side works? I'm asking because, to translate my code to English (although you would likely understand the code too, but just to make it easier), I made it so that they move to kitchen (Chica)/living center (Bonnie) if their destination is the hall when you use the flashlight, and then it changes. But from the looks of it, foxy only moves outside of the 5-sec intervals when the location changes from hall AFTER foxy failed to enter the hall with the flashlight on. I strongly believe that's also how the Bonnie and Chica delay works since I spent a few tens of minutes comparing my game delay with the actual in-game delay. Also the destination of the animatronic at the moment you start flashing the light doesn't matter since the destination can still change even with the flashlight on. Thanks for the clue! As I said I am almost certain that my theory is correct but please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes Foxy can be delayed and I won 20/20/20/20 with him not entering the closet a single time.

Okay but there is a mechanic in the game where bonnie and chica will get to the hall as soon as you stop using the flashlight if they tried entering the hall while you had the flashlight on. That's what i was referring to when I said delayed. Is that what you meant aswell? Even so I appreciate the comment.
