@Mad Nightmare:

Three things, firstly timer() returns an integer, not a float; and secondly it counts in thousandths of a second, rather than seconds. And lastly, it's not while/repeat, its either while/wend or repeat/until.

@Ghost Games:

This is maybe closer to the mark

@Ghost Games
Are you wanting the game to pause while the animation plays and then continues once the animation is finished?

The fastest code is the code never written.

I think you need to break from your main loop with some if condition and goto second loop in which you play your object starting a timer limiting the second loop how long to play the object, after X seconds past, break from second loop and go to main loop again.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

This...

will do it.

Play the animation, then repeat, until the animation is not playing.

Sorted.
