How to make text appear on screen for 5 secs once interactign with an object

[Frontcannon]

The area is right, the way you're using it is wrong.

It'S nothing you 'walk into'. The examine-area is for examining things, like a clock or a book or any other item you want to make the player know more about.
It mimicks the examine feature from penumbra, where the player had an eye-icon appear when he looked at an object and when he clicked he got a little comment on it, eg. 'This rock looks old'.

So don't place it as something the player walks into like a script area, but rather around an object like a book.
