I made an if statement that activates showText, among other things, and I want to get rid of the text after a couple of seconds. I know how to get rid of the text itself, I just don't know how to do that after a certain period of time. How would I?

Simply add an int showTextTimer to the class. You want that as long as it has a value of zero, no text will be showing: 
if (showTextTimer > 0 && --showTextTimer == 0) showText("", /** wherever */??, ??);
Just set a positive value (maybe 180) to the field when the text is displayed.
