  I did the events like that because you were bothered about multiple drones being built and asked for a point in the right direction, my logic resolves that. How a progress bar updates over 10 seconds is up to you, but doing something every tick is very fast.

  So you give me logic for something i didnt ask for (it literally shows an increment of a variable in the code, not a object creation) and tell me how i sort what i actually asked for help with is up to me. Awesome.

  The reason multiple drones was mentioned is because its relevent to how the progres bars are handled because there are multiple running simultaneously. Nothing more.

  Thanks but I'm not trying to spawn a sprite after 10 seconds. Its the progress bar that updates over 10 seconds I'm having issues with. Hense the reference to "Each tick update Progress Bar BarBuildConstructionDrone"

  Wondering if anyone can help, new to Construct but not new to programming, which I think might be the problem. In my mind its straight forward, but I cant find what I'm looking for in construct to achieve it.

  Basically, I have text object TxtBuildConstructionDrone thats serving as a place holder till I can be bothered sorting graphics.

  I'm trying to achieve the following but none of the tutorials match what I want and the ones that comes close are, well, poorly written.

  Basically I want the following (pseudo code before anyone says anything);

  On TxtBuildConstructionDrone Click
  	If ResourceMetal is greater than DroneConstructionMetalCost
  		subtract DroneConstructionMetalCost from ResourceMetal
  		Start Timer Loop
  			Each tick update Progress Bar BarBuildConstructionDrone
  			If timer equals 10
  				DronesConstruction++
  	Else
  		#generate error popup
  

  There can be multiple drones building at the same time, different durations which adds another bit of complexity. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to achieve this?
