Timed events start before I get to right layout

You could:

Create a sprite, call it timersprite, set it invisible and give it the timer behaviour.

system on start of layout (or after start button pressed or whatever event you want) - timersprite : start timer duration: 30 tag: "enemyspawn"

add another event:

timersprite : on timer "enemyspawn - create object "robot" on layer 2 (x:12751,y:430)

                                      - timersprite: start timer duration: 30 tag: "enemyspawn"

Thanks sooo much LittleStain! That example is logical to me. I'll try it out after a few hours sleep and let you know how it goes. Have a great night, well early morning I guess I should say hehe. Thanks again for all your help!

It worked! Your a genius LittleStain! Thanks for all your help buddy. <img src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
