one simple way :
if groupdead(4) and never() then
wave("alarm9.wav", 10)
endif
if chain(timedelay) then
consol("Destroy Chemical Containers at Charlie")
endif
I am not sure maby u can even cut out the wave event from above and it will work if not just put in some irrelevant command and move the wave to the
chain event as well.
There are other ways which are more sophisticated but I dont think you will need them or they add something important to it.

thx for response.
I wasn't clear about when or where I wanted the time delay. I wanted the time delay after groupdead, and then alarm to sound and text to display at
the same time. However, this works;
if groupdead(4) and elapse(5) and never() then
wave("alarm9.wav", 10)
consol("Destroy Chemical Containers at Charlie")
endif
Both alarm and (consol) text appears after 5 sec.

thats quite handy :-)
just one thing about elapse() :
remember this one is executed on a fixed schedule. So every 5 seconds from the beginning of the game is what is the reference. Now it may happen that
your groupdead trigger is activated just in a 5 second period, where 5 seconds just have elapsed. then the event will be triggered without delay. same
goes when the 5s elapse period has counted up to 2 or 3 seconds. the event will then be triggered 3 or 2 seconds after groupdead. elapse does not
refer to the other triggers in an event it runs independently.
