Hopefully this is what you want it starts at 60, in this case, goes down and once it hits 0 it will continue the rest of the code.

Code Snippet

Plaintext

i = 60; for( ;; ) { wait 1; i--; if ( i == 0 ) break; } // Continue Function

Code Snippet

Plaintext

 i = 60; while( i > 0 ) { wait 1; i--; }

Edit: Reading this over I don't think this is what you want but idk.

as an alternative...

Thread this when you want the timer to init:

Spoiler: click to open...

Code Snippet

Plaintext

timer_init(time, type, value, variable)
{
	if(isdefined(time) && isdefined(type) && isdefined(value) )
	{
		wait(time);

		switch(type)
		{
			case "notify":
				level notify(value);
				break;
 
			case "flag":
				flag_set(value);
				break;
 
			case "variable":
				variable = value;
				break;
		}
	}
	else
	{
		iprintln("One of the following is not defined: Time, Type, Value!");
	}
}

create either a waittill(), flag_wait(), or if(var == value) somewhere in your script. Then pass whatever you need through the function.

Like this:

Code Snippet

Plaintext

timer_init(20, "notify", "door_open")

Haven't tested it but i don't see why it wouldn't work.

edit: notify wasn't a string. fixed.

never mind. my own ignorance completely forgot about the wait function. # blond moment. sorry. but i did test both of ur methods and will mark the best answer. his was the best because it fitted my need without having any rescripting.
