Hey, I've searched all around on forums and I haven't found anything close to this. After my player is killed create object is immediately done, I would like to delay this by a few seconds before another player is created. I created a timer and played around with activating it after the player is killed and I can't get it to activate the timer countdown. Logically I know what I want to do, I just don't know how to put in MMF2
Here you go.
Thanks, I'll check it once I get home
I'm confident that Chris' other reply will help, but also consider encouraging abstinence.
It doesn't seem like a killer problem.
Create a counter named Spawn Delay.
On the condition that kills the player, set Spawn Delay to one.
Event: Every second, If Spawn Delay > 0, add 1 to Spawn Delay.
Event: If Spawn Delay = 3, and number of Player = 0, create Player. Set Spawn Delay to 0.

Where is "If Spawn Delay >? I don't see where I can put that from that condition
OK it works Grim...However, my question is why am I adding 1 to the Spawn Delay?
Because "Spawn Delay" is a variable that is holding time in it. It's essentially seconds.
You could call it SecondCounter instead of Spawn Delay if you wanted.
Did you look at my example Jbrown?
Aylictal was correct, but let me provide some more detail to what I suggested.
In my example, you initially set Spawn Delay to 1 when the player object is destroyed. Setting it to 1 is used to start the timer with another condition later.
The condition is looking for Spawn Delay to be more than 0. This condition is true/active when the player is destroyed, because we set it to 1. Now that it's true, we tell the counter to start counting (in this case, with seconds). We are having MMF 2 add 1 to Spawn Delay every second.
When the count of Spawn Delay = 3, that means that two seconds have passed since the player object was destroyed.
Why 2? When we set it to one when the player was destroyed, that was done instantly. A second later, we increased it to 2. Another second later, it's at 3, the player object is created, and Spawn Delay is reset to zero in case we have to do it all over again.
If you wanted the player object to be created 5 seconds later, you would check to see when Spawn Delay = 6 instead of 3.
I hope this helps.
Chris Burrows' solution is definitely more elegant, but perhaps harder to understand. You should take a look if you haven't already.
