I'm trying to use timers to add an effect in my game where the characters slowly freeze, and if they don't get to a fire, they will die, I've got it set so that (for test purposes) this happens every 10 seconds, however, once I start up my Game to test it, the timer starts, but nothing happens when the timer hits zero. 

My current Event is set up like this

My character say their Dialogue.

There is a switch to stop said Dialogue repeating due to the event being triggered by parallel processing.

Underneath the switch, I have a timer set up.

Once the timer gets to 1 or below, it's meant to be a game over.

My guess is that the Switch changing is interfering with the event, so I copied the timer part of the event over to a second event page, But no luck there.
