I have this simple script attached to a container but it doesnt work.

OnActivate returns true only for one frame for each activation of the object. The line set timer to ( timer + getsecondspassed ) therefore only gets executed once, so the variable timer will not reach 2 unless you activate the object many times, repeatedly.

Here's a fixed version:

short statefloat timerif ( MenuMode == 1 )	Returnendifif ( OnActivate == 1 )	set state to 1	Returnendifif ( state == 0 )	Returnendifset timer to ( timer + getsecondspassed )if ( timer >= 2 )	MessageBox, "Activate"	set timer to 0	set state to 0endif
