"Cast into Time" and readied actions?

[hyphz]

The spell "cast into time" states that the targeted creature "disappears until the end of your turn".

Is it correct that others can ready actions for "when X creature falls into time.." in order to take that action while the target is still gone, since it's taken as a reaction during the caster's turn?

Yes. If someone has spend the 2 actions to ready a single action, he can take it as a reaction when the trigger happens.

I don't really get what you are asking though?

If you mean something like "everyone goes before the caster, and spend their round readying a "Stride out of the room when X dissapears".

The caster casts the spell, everyone else spends their reaction, the target returns and now only sees the caster in the room.

Then, sure. Why wouldn't it work?

I believe he is asking whether "when X creature falls into time.." is a valid trigger or not. I don't see why not.

You might re-word your trigger to use what the character can perceive though, to avoid potential argument. It could be "when X creature disappears" (or "when X creature reappears" depending on your goal) since the team may not know what "casting into time" looks like. If the caster has briefed the team, or has used the spell before, then you could be more broad with the trigger I think, since spells are described as generally having various emanations and the team could know what to look for.

You could ready on a similar but not gamist trigger, but it really doesn't do a whole lot unless you are trying to beat a high Fast Healing target. But even then, burning 2 actions and a reaction isn't very helpful compared to simply taking your turn normally, since you gain nothing for an enemy reappearing at the end of the spellcaster's current turn.

You might have had a case if the spell lasted until the end of the next turn, but as is, you lose actions for no meaningful benefit.

I could see it being used to move past a blocking creature.
