3 seconds after an event

[Heclegar]

Hi!

In a frame I need my character to collide with an object. In that very moment I need him to stop (ignoring player's control) and after 3 seconds I want another object to be shown on the frame.

How can I ask the game to act only 3 second AFTER that event?

Well you could code a timer that counts down starting at when that event occurs:

+Character Collides With Objects
+Value A of Timer_AO <= 0
=Set Value A of Timer_AO to 150 (seconds * framerate, if framerate is 50, this is 3*50 = 150)
=Disable Movement for Player

+Value A of Timer_AO > 0
=Sub 1 from Value A of Timer_AO

+Value A of Timer_AO = 1
= *MAKE THINGY VISIBLE*





However I think theres an extension for exactly this, I've never used it but I assume this is exactly what you want and would make the coding much simpler!:

Thanks a lot! Function Eggtimer was exactly what I was looking for!
