Scratch

timer: it cud get mixed up with other sprites that are 'resetting the timer' aswell.

broadcasting: not much wrong but it'd be better keeping it in one script so u dnt get confused when changing scripts...

variable: best option but a block for it wud be MUCH easier.

But if you press the key within the .990 seconds in between...

yes but i want to continue the script after either 3 seconds or touching something. hmmm how about:

<repeat( 30 )>
  <if> touching player )>
      <wait( 0 )secs>
  <else>
      <wait( 0.1 )secs>
  <end>
<end>

the above wud wait 3 seconds but as soon as the sprite is touching player, it will wait 0 seconds until the repeat loop is over.. only problem is that if the sprite only touches the player for a very small ammount of time - which is unlikely in my game anyway

any other way to do this block WITHOUT using variable/timer/broadcasting?!?!?

thx. dibbo.

I agree. It would be nice to have a block like <key[ this ]pressed?> that said
<wait(  )secs>  I think it's a good idea.
