Ah thx, going tot find out how to set a timer!

Hello scripy people:) I'm completely new to scripting, so hopefully someone can help me. I want to make a particle emitter. The idea is that someone can touch it and it emits particles for a few seconds and then it stops automatically. After that you can touch it again and it does the same thing. I bought the particles and put it in a free script. The problem is that I can touch it and it emits the particles, but I have to touch it again to make it stop. How do I switch it to a version where the particles stop automatically after a few seconds? I copied the script, only blurred the particle part (since it’s not for free): /////////////////////////////////////////////// /////////////ANIMATION STATION 2011//////////// ////////////////DRAKE FAUDEBURGH/////////////// /////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////READ THIS/////////////////// //You must click 'Running' at the bottom of the script window to activate this script! //This is a basic Touch Toggle Script Template. //You simply drop this script inside of your object and it will toggle the effect on and off when it is touched. // //Visit //http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Example_Particle_Script //http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParticleSystem //for more information..... /////////////////////////////////////////////// integer particleOn = 0; particle() { llParticleSystem([ PSYS_PART_FLAGS,(0 | PSYS_PART_EMISSIVE_MASK | PSYS_PART_BOUNCE_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_COLOR_MASK | PSYS_PART_INTERP_SCALE_MASK //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// PSYS_SRC_ANGLE_END,0.500000*PI]); } stopParticle() { particleOn = 0; llParticleSystem([]); } default { state_entry() { particle(); } on_rez(integer start_params) { particle(); } touch_start(integer num_detected) { if(!particleOn) { particleOn = 1; particle(); } else stopParticle(); } } I searched myself, but can’t find what I’m looking for. So any help would be appreciated😊
