Title: Setting up a thirty second timer.

I was wondering how does one set up a thirty second timer, I did look up timers but I could not figure out how the cycles worked in relation to seconds.

Code (ags) Select

SetTimer(1, GetGameSpeed()*30);

GetGameSpeed() returns the frame(cycle) rate your game is current running at. For example, if your game is running at 40 FPS (AGS default), you can set the time to 40*30 = 1200 cycles for 30 seconds.
