I need assistance on a Script i am making, this is it so far:

+ Code Snippet

;Artificial Intelligence Script

;Header

desc          = Pickup Item Show HUD

;Triggers

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=E:\Program Files\The Game Creators\FPS Creator\Files\texturebank\user\paper1.png,hudname=itemprompt,hudhide=4000,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=12,timergreater=14000:hudfadeout=paper1,state=13
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:state=1,playertake,coloff,plrsound=audiobank\misc\ping.wav,hudshow=itemprompt,hudfadeout=itemprompt
:state=1:rundecal=5

;End of Script

I am trying it so i pickup an item (in this case a peice of paper) then a HUD shows for 3-5 seconds then fades out. I cant get it to remain on the screen for little over 1 second. Any ideas? Thanks!

Your mistake is very easy:
in this line:
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:state=1,playertake,coloff,plrsound=audiobank\misc\ping.wav,hudshow=itemprompt,hudfadeout=itemprompt
you show a hud(hudshow) and immediately fade it out(hudfadeout)
Then you start no timer!!! and you do not go to state=12, you go to state=1

Correct version:

;Artificial Intelligence Script

desc          = Pickup Item Show HUD

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=E\Program Files\The Game Creators\FPS Creator\Files\texturebank\user\paper1.png,hudname=itemprompt,hudhide=4000,hudmake=display,state=10
:state=1,etimergreater=5000:hudfadeout=paper1,state=13
:state=10,plrdistwithin=40:state=1,playertake,etimerstart,coloff,plrsound=audiobank\misc\ping.wav,hudshow=itemprompt
