You could:
(1) Go into a while loop, checking when 5 seconds have passed with time(), and then continue.
Pros: Very easy to do
Cons: Locks up the game for 5 seconds
(2) Use OnUpdate to calculate when 5 seconds have passed, and then continue by calling a function which does the rest of what you need to do.
Pros: Doesn't lock up the game; the "preferred" way to do it
Cons: Not the easiest thing to understand for newer programmers
