in my game, I have a race track model and a car and the race car model has a built in car model so i can animate it and not need AI. but i cannot check the number of laps with the one attached to the track so can somebody please tell me how to set a timer (The animation time is 28 seconds) and how to test to see if it is 28 seconds or less?

Coroutines work well for this

For a more general system implement a custom timer

private float timer = 0;

void Update () {
    timer += Time.deltaTime;

    // To reset the timer
    timer = 0;

    // To check against the timer
    if(timer > 28){
        // Do something
    }
}
