A code to reset a variable after x time if another button is not pressed. Help!

Basically what I am trying to do is create a system were a certain variable will reset if one of 4 different buttons is not pressed within a certain time frame.

I was trying to do this with co-routines, but I have been unsuccessful without using the stop all coroutines function, which was fine until my I needed other coroutines for my character. I am struggling to figure out a new way to do this, can anyone help??

Below is my current script using the stop all coroutines function.

Thanks,

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire State") && !onWall) 
{
	if (morphCount <= morphLimit && !attacking) 
	{
		morphCount += 1;
		FireState ();
		StopAllCoroutines ();
		StartCoroutine (MorphReset());
	}
}

if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Water State") && !onWall)
{
	if (morphCount <= morphLimit && !attacking) 
	{
		morphCount += 1;
		WaterState ();
		StopAllCoroutines ();
		StartCoroutine (MorphReset());
	}
}

if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Earth State") && grounded) 
{
	if (morphCount <= morphLimit) 
	{
		morphCount += 1;
		EarthState ();
		StopAllCoroutines ();
		StartCoroutine (MorphReset());
	}
}

if (Input.GetButtonDown ("Powerless")) 
{
	Powerless ();
	StopAllCoroutines ();
	StartCoroutine (MorphReset());
}
}

IEnumerator MorphReset ()
{
	yield return new WaitForSeconds (4);
	morphCount = 0;
}

Use StopCoroutine, so you can stop a specific coroutine, rather than using StopAllCoroutines. Either that or use Invoke instead of coroutines.

if (condition) {
    CancelInvoke ("SomeFunction");
    Invoke ("SomeFunction", invokeTime);
}

You can use stop coroutine to stop a specific coroutine. You can only use StopCoroutine on a function you start with the string version

// This works
StartCoroutine("MorphReset");
StopCoroutine("MorophReset");

//This will not work
StartCoroutine(MorphReset());
StopCoroutine(MorophReset());
