I have a launch button with a set of events attached to it....including a "wait 10 sec". If I want to abort that launch after 5 seconds, how can I do it?

I've tried attaching variable conditions, but the 10 second wait continues to count down and execute the events after it.

I'm stumped! Help!

Wait is a bit of a funny beast and takes some getting used to.

The easiest thing for you to do is probably to put all your actions after the wait into a "function called" event. This allows you to check your variables *after* the wait using your function event. Then in the event with the wait in it call the function after the wait.

Phyvo Yes! I had totally avoided functions but that did the trick. Thanks!

Thanks!
