Global burst,bursttime,burststart

Function Burst()

;load the burst sprite, position it, etc. here
burst=True
burststart=Millisecs()

End Function

Function UpdateBurstTimer(burstsprite)

If burst then

If Millisecs()-burststart>=bursttime Then

burst=False
HideEntity(burstsprite)

End if

End If

End Function

Try this; this is kinda like the code I use to calculate FPS. Just set 'bursttime' to the amount of time you want the burst to appear, and call Burst(). Then, in the loop, run this:


If burst Then UpdateBurstTimer()
