Flags are the best way to control a Subroutine, so if you are using a script that says

*** IF ***
    True.
*** THEN ***
   Team '<This Team>' begins hunting.

Make another script to initialize or set the flag to zero.

*** IF ***
    True.
*** THEN ***
  Set Flag named 'StartHunt' to FALSE

Then have your timer set the flag to true.

*** IF ***
    Timer 'HuntingTimer' has expired.
*** THEN ***
  Set Flag named 'StartHunt' to TRUE

Apply this flag to your Hunt script.

*** IF ***
    Flag named 'StartHunt' IS TRUE
*** THEN ***
   Team '<This Team>' begins hunting.

Use this script for the On Create behavior for the team.

Yes, you'll find this Action under Map/Modify/Adjust the tech tree for a specific object type. This script would go in the PlyrCivilian folder.

*** IF ***
    True.
*** THEN ***
   'AmericaAirfield' becomes Buildable (No)
   'AmericaWarFactory' becomes Buildable (No)

If you're using Zero Hour it's under Scripting/Flags/Set flag to a value. Generals is a little different but should be listed under Scripting.
