timer

[paulpars]

I am trying to create something so when the viewpoint enters a hotspot a person appears walking in the world. The problem is that I only want the person to appear for 5 seconds and then disappear again. I make the person show up within a timer function and I can't seem to figure out how to set up some other timer so the person only appears for a certain amount of time...I've tried using a director funciton too but can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas?
