I am wondering if anybody knows how to get a message box in an Event to go away automatically after a set amount of time, instead of requiring the operator to press OK? I have a start delay during which I want a message displayed, but then want it to go away when the time has run out. Currently the message box is set to show when the .TT bit is true.

Thanks for the reply, Tom@Pton. However, this doesn't seem to work for me. I have a message box and a sound set to go on when the .ACC is between a certain range, as suggested. The sound stops when outside of the range, but the message box stays on the screen until the OK button is pressed. I ended up just using a static text object and set it's visibility based on the .DN tag, seems to work fine.
