Is it possible to create a time lapse in a script?

Question

Let's say I want the script to display something so the user can read it, and then have the user enter an imput. How can I do this without having to input a value first?

Answer 1

Display the passage in the top and then ask for input at the bottom. The user will read the text and whenever he's finished, he'll enter the required data.

But I guess this is not exactly what you had in mind, is it?
When the time for reading a text is supposed to be limited, like an exam or such, we use a Timer.
So when the program runs, a count down begins in the background, and when it's finished, some code will be executed automatically. Like hiding the text and asking for input.
Google "using Timer in C#" for more info. It's just too hard to explain here.

Answer 2

I tried to use Private static System. Timers.Timer aTimer; (as shown on the website) but it keeps saying the member static must precede with the member type and name.
