Just use the timer to find out how much time has gone by, and don't reset the variables to zero until that time has elapsed. Store the value from the timer() function into a variable, like oldTime#, then check

which is 30 seconds.

Rizzle, your sleep command will sleep for .03 seconds. Is this what you want? All you need to do is to type in the amount of seconds that you want it to wait for, and add 3 0s to it! 3 seconds would be 3000. Anyway, QuothTheRaven's idea should work try that.
