Flags are the best way to control a Subroutine, so if you are using a script that says
[code]*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Team '' begins hunting.
[/code]
Make another script to initialize or set the flag to zero.
[code]*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
Set Flag named 'StartHunt' to FALSE[/code]
Then have your timer set the flag to true.
[code]*** IF ***
Timer 'HuntingTimer' has expired.
*** THEN ***
Set Flag named 'StartHunt' to TRUE[/code]
Apply this flag to your Hunt script.
[code]*** IF ***
Flag named 'StartHunt' IS TRUE
*** THEN ***
Team '' begins hunting.
[/code]
Use this script for the On Create behavior for the team.

THanks that helped, one more thing,
can i set an option where the player (me) can't build a specific building like a war factory or an airfield?

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.
[code]*** IF ***
True.
*** THEN ***
'AmericaAirfield' becomes Buildable (No)
'AmericaWarFactory' becomes Buildable (No)[/code]

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.
