TIMER @@@@@@@@@@ PLEASE

}


Hi All,

After a Villain’s Health gets to “0” I want to make him transparent and then show a small bitmap
which states “Going To Next Level” I want the bitmap to stay on the screen for 6 secs.

I need a timer using code to give me the 6 sec delay, and then take the player to the next level.

I might be wrong but it seems that Timers can only be used in a new Event, am I wrong
can someone please assist.

Cheers

yes new timers can only be created in a Create Actor event i think all of them but im positive that the first one has to be,

so did you mean u want the bmp to stay on the screen for 6 secs?

you can make a new timer and then name it "bmp timer" and you can make it for 6 sec then on your collision with your enemy, you can have create actor (your bmp) and add the timer to the bmp and then u can have on the timer, after 6 sec to destroy the bitmap
