Timer in Kismet

Imatk

I'm trying to set a timer so that when it reaches the end it triggers a particle system.

I can achieve this with a Matinee for the system, but I was wondering if there was a way to do this using the "Timer" variable.

I've tried setting up the timer but obviously I'm either doing something wrong, or maybe the "Timer" variable can't be used that way?

Anyway, if anyone know how to use it that way I'd appreciate any help.

I don't think timer works as a countdown, I think it just times something, like you say start the timer now and it'll store the amount of time until you tell it to stop.

Probably what you want is a delay, it'll let you trigger it however you want and then it'll wait however long you tell it to before doing anything.
