is there a delay function ?

hi, i am creating a game where you shoot asteroids, if the asteroid hits your ship then all of the asteroids reset but due to the speed they continually hit the ship over and over before it can reset, so i was wondering if there was a delay function that i can add to the reset class in order to delay the asteroids for about 1 second before resetting in order to let the ship reset ?

Many thanks Huh

Reply #2 - Apr 20^th, 2010, 8:33am many thanks, the delay as stated stops the whole program which is no good to me and being a noob i really dont get how to set the other one up, is there any chance you could quicly go though how to set a timer up and more importantly how to do the checks ? Many thanks

Not for the purpose you have! Well, you saw this yourself... I precisely just answered a very similar question in the Help with a game! thread. (Should make a page with this answer and examples, I suppose...)
