How to create objects after a certain period of time

I need to create an object after 40 seconds. In which class do I put the code and how does it look like? In my example, there are some jokers that appear after a certain period of time in my world. Those actors have to act as defined in their class. Thanks in advance!!

The code should be placed in the act method of your world subclass in which it should be added. Create an int variable as a timer initialized as the number of act cycles which should pass before you want to add the object. Reduce it by one each act cycle and when the variable reaches 0, add the object.

But when I use this code:
public void act() { Timer = Timer + 1; if (Timer <= 60) { addObject(voldemort, 400, 400); } }
(I initialized the "Timer variable" and the "Voldemort variable" before) The object appears at the moment I run the scenario, not "60 seconds" after I pressed run.

You did not say what you initialized Timer to. Maybe you meant that you declared it. It should be initialized to something like 2400 and it should be decremented (not incremented) and tested for a 0 value in the act method.

I'm sorry, I am new in this. Could you show me how the code actually looks like?

There really is nothing new to show. Just adjust your act method and Timer declaration line as indicated in my last post.

Of course, it was simple. Thanks for your help anyway.
