Yes, Hoyer that was a big help, cheers!
I tried something similar but with the 'wait' command, it didn't work. The Timer is new to me, I've been using the Construct 2 online manual as a guide and the Timer doesn't get mentioned (noticed you said 'new' timer behaviour, so the manual probably hasn't been updated yet).
I'd still like to learn how to set out loops in the event sheet, so if anyone has links to a good tutorial can you post it, please.
