Hi,

There is a game i have created where i want that when a sprite\_man touches a sprite\_soap or sprite\_mask or sprite\_sanitizer, all sprites moving in the game should stop.

I have used the logic -  
When sprite\_man collides with sprite\_mask/Sprite\_soap/sprite\_santizer  
wait for 6 sec  
start moving sprites

But the issue is, when the man touches 2 sprites together, then it does not wait for 6+6 secs. But only till 6 secs and then all sprites start moving.  
What i want is it should wait for another 6 secs if it touches another sprite.

Any help would really be appreciated.
