Timer within code

In my code I want to implement a timer which gives makes the death wait 2 seconds before it initializes.

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
    Die();
}

void Die()
{
    Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
}

The death is instant and I want it to wait 2 seconds before it initializes.

Any ideas?

Try this:

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
    Thread Dying = new Thread(()=>Die());
    Dying.Start(); //start a death in new thread so can do other stuff in main thread
}

void Die()
{
    Thread.Sleep(2000); //wait for 2 seconds
    Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
}

If you just want it to happen after two seconds, you can try this -

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D other)
{
    Invoke ("Die", 2.0f);
}

void Die()
{
    Application.LoadLevel(Application.loadedLevel);
}

Somewhere initialize a timer with 2000 and define a handler, like this:

//...
    Timer tmr = new Timer();
    tmr.Interval = 2000; // 20 seconds
    tmr.Tick += timerHandler;
    tmr.Start(); // The countdown is launched!
//...
private void timerHandler(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    //handle death
}
//...
