Hi guys, I was wondering how I could make a timer in here?:

if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("é") && combo<=0){
            setImage(punch);
            combo=150;
            ((Market)getWorld()).kenGetHit();
            Greenfoot.delay(10);
            ((Market)getWorld()).kenStopHit();
        }

I want to replace the delay command by a real timer but I don't know how to do it in this if condition and I'm kind of stuck right now... Thanks a lot

All you need is an int field to count act cycles:

private int punchTimer;

(fields are declared outside of any methods). Then, set the timer to 10 when the punch image is set; decrement it if its value is greater than zero; and restore the image when the timer reaches zero:

if (Greenfoot.isKeyDown("e") && combo <= 0){
    setImage(punch);
    combo = 150;
    ((Market)getWorld()).kenGetHit();
    punchTimer = 10;
}
if (punchTimer > 0 && --punchTimer == 0) ((Market)getWorld()).kenStopHit();
