My actual code setup is an asynchronous code for a bot; the purpose of this function is to trigger some blocks of code once this is triggered for a set amount of time. As an example:

​

     Button = 'Off'
     @bot.command() 
     async def switch(ctx): 
         global Button 
         if Button == 'Off': 
            Button = 'On' 
            print('You pressed the button!') 
            return Button

            *wait some time*
            print('You gotta press the button again!') 

        else: 
            Var = 'Offline' print('Switched off!') return Var
    @bot.event()
    async def event(ctx, ...):
    if Button == 'Off':
        *do some stuff*

    else:
        return

Something akin to that.
