Title: Timer doesn't seem to do much

Hey all!
I'm trying to give the player time for 3 seconds to move the mouse before the narrator starts to talk again, as part of a tutorial. But my code is simply not using the if statement for the timer, here's the code:

Code Select


    function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
 Mouse.Visible = false;
 gIconbar.Visible = false;
 gStatusline.Visible = false;
 cEgo.Say("&19 hello world!");
 Wait(40);
 cNarr.Say("&1");
             //continues with Narr talking
 Mouse.Visible = true;
  gIconbar.Visible = true;
  gStatusline.Visible = true;
 SetTimer(2, 120);  //heres the timer
 if(IsTimerExpired(1)){  //here is where it is meant to go onto the
                                     //next bit
   Mouse.Visible = false;
    gIconbar.Visible = false;
    gStatusline.Visible = false;
   cNarr.Say("&7");
   Wait(40);
   Mouse.Visible = true;
   gIconbar.Visible = true;
   gStatusline.Visible = true;
   SetTimer(3, 280);
   if(IsTimerExpired(3)){
     Mouse.Visible = false;
      gIconbar.Visible = false;
      gStatusline.Visible = false;
     cNarr.Say("&8");
     Wait(40);
                   //more Narr talking
     Mouse.Visible = true;
     gStatusline.Visible = true;
     gIconbar.Visible = true;
   }
 }
}

thankyou

The function room_AfterFadeIn() runs only once. You proably want to check the timer's in the RepExecute() event handler function. Use the lightning bolt icon to create the event.
