How do I track a timer's count?

I have created a periodic timer that repeats 30 times. I want to disable a mouse down event when the timer reaches its last count of 30.

I know this is easy but my brain is refusing to help.

TlA

Create a new variable to track this count.
On timer event, use something like this:

timerCount = timerCount + 1;

Hi

On your TimerActor (ASCII or bitmap) :

Add Event CreateActor
Add Action Script and write :

int timerCount =30;
Create Timer(yourTimer);

Add Event Timer
Add Action Script and write :

timerCount--;

Add Event Draw Actor
Add Action Script and write :

if(timerCount<0)
{
DisableMouseDownAction;
}

or

if(timerCount==0)
{
DisableMouseDownAction;
}

i always use this code and it works well
See you

consider your code stolen

ingsan,
Once again, you saved my day. Thank you. I really do need to see the steps in order to make sense of things. Your complete listing of the code helps me so much.
The only place I got a little confused was that I needed to set up the "timerCount" as a global variable. Once I figured that out, everything went perfectly.
I may have another simple little demo ready before long.
Everyone is so helpful here. I'm actually even learning some of the scripting!

i'm happy to help, guys Really
