I have a school project due on Friday, and I am unable to put a duration on the powerups. I have three - one to make the player safe from the enemy, one to make them able to eat the enemy, and one to double the amount of points they get when they eat stars.
I've tried:
and also
I've used variations of the second where I've put the timer code directly into the part where the powerup is collected, into the world, and into a separate actor/class altogether. P1P is the 'counter' that keeps track of player 1's powerups. For example, if they collect powerup 1, it'll set an integer P to 1. When there's no powerups, it's 0. What I need to do is find a way to have it set back to 0 after a certain amount of time, preferably 15 seconds.

Actor powerup1;
powerup1 = getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, powerup1.class);
if (powerup1 != null)
{
World world;
world = getWorld();
world.removeObject(powerup1);
play playWorld = (play) getWorld();
p1p p1px = playWorld.getP1P();
p1px.setP(1);
pstart = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
Actor powerup2;
powerup2 = getOneObjectAtOffset(0, 0, powerup2.class);
if (powerup2 != null)
{
World world;
world = getWorld();
world.removeObject(powerup2);
play playWorld = (play) getWorld();
p1p p1px = playWorld.getP1P();
p1px.setP(2);
pstart = System.currentTimeMillis();
