I fail at triggering a timed event with a listener. :(

This is what I have, and it's telling me I have a syntax error where "timer()" starts.

key owner;

default
{
on_rez(integer params){llResetScript();}

state_entry()
{
owner = llGetOwner();
llListen(1,"",owner,"";
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llSetAlpha(0,1);
}

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string msg)
{


if(channel==1 && llToLower(msg)=="shy"
{
llSetAlpha(0.5,1);
llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
timer(){
llSetAlpha(0.0,1);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}


}
}



If you can see what the problem is, could you also please explain the problem to me? Thank you.

Like this:

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string msg)
{
    if(channel==1 && llToLower(msg)=="shy")
    {
        llSetAlpha(0.5,1);
        llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
    }
}

timer()
{
    llSetAlpha(0.0,1);
    llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}

edit: lol, ron was faster, but there ya go
that's because you have a timer event inside of a listen event. they are 2 different things
it should be more like:

key owner;

default
{
on_rez(integer params){llResetScript();}

state_entry()
{
owner = llGetOwner();
llListen(1,"",owner,"");
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llSetAlpha(0,1);
}

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string msg)
{
if(channel==1 && llToLower(msg)=="shy")
{
llSetAlpha(0.5,1);
llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
}
}

timer()
{
llSetAlpha(0.0,1);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}

alternatively, if you're only listening for the word "shy"

key owner;

default
{
on_rez(integer params){llResetScript();}

state_entry()
{
owner = llGetOwner();
llListen(1,"",owner,"shy");//tell the listen to only listen for the word "shy" from the owner
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
llSetAlpha(0,1);
}

listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string msg)
{
llSetAlpha(0.5,1);
llSetTimerEvent(15.0);
}

timer()
{
llSetAlpha(0.0,1);
llSetTimerEvent(0.0);
}
}

Thank you both so, so much!
