[SOLVED] Boss attacking after set time/delay

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

If someone can help me with this, I'm setting up a boss that I want to follow the played for a fixed amount of time/delay, and then attack, not on it's own like most enemies. The boss is a machine that comes down from a heightened offset to smash the player, who's trying to dodge. Once the machine hits the ground, it's the players chance to attack it before it goes back up and repeated the process. Anyone have a command for that?

I've tried pasting it into your script but it makes the game crash every time, but I will need that back in there.

Okay then, here it is:

anim follow1
@script
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int posx = getentityproperty(self, "x");

   if(posx>=240)
    {
        changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0) ;
    }

  if(frame==8){
    setentityvar(self, 1, openborvariant("elapsed_time"));
  }
@end_script
...

The timer still doesn't reset sometimes

Thanks. Applied the script and it worked.

Yeah, still doesn't reset counter sometimes but it's doable.

Actually I just remembered something. You need to update the script in WALK animation to this:

anim walk
	loop	1 1 3
   @script
   void self = getlocalvar("self");
   int Summon = getentityvar(self, 1);

 if(Summon <= openborvariant("elapsed_time") - 300){
         setentityvar(self, 1, NULL());
        changeentityproperty(self, "velocity", 0, 0, 0) ;
         performattack(self,openborconstant("ANI_FOLLOW2"));
    }
   @end_script
...

The added line is to stop entity before changing to FOLLOW2

Applied the script. For some reason the boss sometimes performs Follow2 after finishing Follow1, making it repeat it's rising animation.

So how are these follow animations coded?
