Hey Guys-
I need a little bit of help with resetting an actor/attribute. I have an actor set up that when actor receives an event...collides with mask, game.activated to 1. This starts a timer and count down animation then after 3 seconds of collision, the actor explodes and game over.
How do I set it up so that when the mask is not touching the actor anymore (the mask gets on then off the actor), to reset the timer and the count down animation?
Because currently, when the mask touches it for say 1 second and gets off the actor...the timer still continues causing an explosion and resulting in a game over.

When mask overlaps or
Collide with the actor, every one second add the attribute to attribute+1
Otherwise,, change it to 0
When touching time is 3, destroy
