The alarm counter references frames, not time. If you need decimal values, you'll have to ditch alarms and code your own system.

you also need to check if the alarm == -1 before you set it other wise the alarm will never happen. setting it to room_speed with give you a second. if you just want to wait a frame to have it happen then set it to 1. If you mean .6 of a second then set it to .6 * room_speed

alarm[0] = ceil( 0.6 * room_speed );
