[oopic] oCountdown vs oopic.delay

Let me see if I understand what you're saying,

"The new oButton objects will allow you to debounce the buttons as well which will make everything work better. Remember that an event will fire when the
Operate line moves from '0' to '1', it won't fire again until it moves
back to '0'."
If I use the obutton object instead of a oDio1, every time I hit the button the oEvent will restart from the begining of the event code? This would actually be very good if this was the case.

Second debounce will in effect return the button to 0 after it has been pressed?

"I'm not a fan of using ooPIC.delay in anything."

Is this because the oopic will not be able to monitor the other buttons while it is delaying? I actually only need one event to funtion at a time, so that aspect isn't really a problem, not being able to sense incoming event triggers is though. I would experiment with this but I recently burnt out my oopic chip with a improperly designed circuit (forgot the diodes, ha,ha) and am currently waiting for a new chip.

"I would have a function that is periodically called that checks against a timer
so that processing can go on while something is awaiting a timeout. One
way to do that is to create a VC (virtual circuit) that is triggered by
the button press such that it will start a timer that will call an event
to shut a switch off when it times out. oCountdown is a good candidate
for that."

Hmmm after looking at the object page for oCountdown I'm not sure that this is what I need. The reason I was using oopic delay was that I needed a way to say wait x amount of time (where x could be any amount of time) before the next step in the oEvent. I feel like I am probably using the wrong words to say something very simple.
The purpose of this program is to trigger beable to trigger an oEvent and have it function as a piece of procedural programing code within a larger object oriented event-based programing code. Maybe you could give me an example that would have the same effect?

Thanks for the help I've certainly learned a lot in a short time.
