SIMPLE TIMER...

CloseSo, I'm attempting to make a timed event that, to be perfectly honest, is very simple but won't work for some reason. I got the timer to start and count down, but once it hits zero nothing happens. This is what I tried:
Timer1: Set(10 sec)
Timer1: Start
Conditional Branch> Timer1 less/equal 0/1 second> Event Switch (ON)
I'm not sure why, but the switch isn't coming on or something else is causing the event not to trigger.
EDIT: Working in rm2k3, forgot to mention that.
Timer1: Set(10 sec)
Timer1: Start
Conditional Branch> Timer1 less/equal 0/1 second> Event Switch (ON)

The thing is, in order for this event to trigger when the timer runs out, you have to make it a parallel process.
However, when you do that what happens? The timer is set to 10 seconds, then started, then a branch checks whether the timer has run out.

I've tried several different ways to get this to work. I get the timer to start, it counts down, and then the event doesn't trigger. I have the conditional branch set up as a separate event as a parallel process, and it still won't do anything. I am the stumped (and the dumb):/
Event 1: (on touch) Set timer 1 to 10 seconds
Call Common Event
Event 2: (Common Event) Start Timer 1
Event 3: (Parallel Process) Conditional Branch: Timer 1 less/equal 0 sec
Switch Operation: Switch on
Event 1: (on touch) Set timer 1 to 10 seconds
Call Common Event
Event 2: (Common Event) Start Timer 1
Event 3: (Parallel Process) Conditional Branch: Timer 1 less/equal 0 sec
Switch Operation: Switch on
Have the on touch event set timer 1 to 10 seconds, start it, and turn a switch on.
Have a parallel process common event that's triggered by the same switch you use in the on touch event. Do a conditional branch for the timer being less than 0 seconds, and inside that do the code for whatever happens after your timer expires and then turn the switch off.

Ok, I did that and I can make it play a message at the end of the timer (which is more than I managed before), but for some reason when I replace the message command with a command to turn on a switch it doesn't work. I'm really considering just abandoning the event, cause it was a minor thing in the first place and I've spent hours trying to get it to work ;_;
Thanks for the help so far though, you've been very understanding of my idiocy lol
