Triggers go off immediately, which is their nature. However the trigger can call a script that makes a timer.

eg.

Put this in your script file:



sub OnCoins (tname, line, wildcards)
  world.DoAfter 5, "get coins"
end sub


Then edit your trigger and add "OnCoins" as the name of the script to call. This will then call that routine, which will do "get coins" (or whatever you want) after 5 seconds.
