How do I trigger an action between time?

So i have sprite name finger that follow my mouse cursor using drag and drop behavior

I have 3 sprite which is

point1 , point2 , point3

Point1 with inst variable = 0 <--- this is where the sprite finger stay after overlap with other point

Point2 with inst variable = 1

Point3 with inst variable = 2

And another 2 sprite which is attack1 and attack2 that set to invisible

And my global variable name counting = 0

And when finger overlap with point 2 set global variable to 1

And when global viariable equal to 1 : set sprite attack1 to visible

wait 0.2 sec set it back to invisible and set globa var to 0

And set drop where finger go back to point1

And when finger overlap with point 3 (it has to go through point 2) add 2 to global variable so it will be 3 right?

And when global var equal to 3 : set sprite attack2 to visible and wait 0.2 sec set it back to invisible and set drop.

My problem is how do i make if the finger go through point 2 and 3 WITHIN 0.5 sec it will not set the attack1 to visible and it only set attack2 to visible?

I already make wait 0.5sec action when finger overlap with point 2 and after that set attack 1 to visible

And somehow even if i go to point 3 under 0.5sec it will set attack1 to visible and after that attack2 to visible.

Can someone help me how to do it? If global var = to 3 within 0.5sec set attack2 to visible only instead of attack1 also

allevlativ sounds like you need to look at using the Timer behaviour on your objects instead of using Wait in your event logic. Can you supply a capx?
