Hello, I was wondering if there was a way for text to appear in the world for a certain amount of time and then disappear. I am making a game where I want to tell the player that they got -1 point and then for that text to go away after a few seconds. Please help!

try this code: 
public int time = 80;//the bigger the number the longer it stays
    
    public void act()
    {
        setImage(new GreenfootImage("You got -1 point", 30, Color.GREEN,new Color(0,0,0,0)));
        //Inside the quotes is the text that will show up. bigger number, bigger text size. The first color is the color of the text, the second color is the color of the background (right now its transparent)
        time--;
        if (time == 0)
        {
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
    }
