hi crew.

so i spend the night on writing this scripts;  
after a few bugs it worked well.

now i want to take it one step further. but i just lost logic here.  
i’d like to popup this menu with an interval  
lets say. let it rest for a second then drop the next item from the array

anyone wanna give me a little push?  
i know how intervals work, yet i can’t seem to implent it correctly here.

thanks kindly
