we have this game in which the player needs to take a series of 3 actions. the player has up to 10 seconds to take each action, and if the player doesn't take that action when time is up, the game takes the default action for him. (think of this as a turn-based game in which each turn has a time limit). 

we currently use the scheduler to call the default action at timeout. the problem arises when the player skips two actions in a row. since a scheduled cloud script cannot schedule another cloud script, we cannot figure out how to do what we are trying to do without some convoluted way of sending a message to tell the client to send a request to schedule the next timeout. 

what is the best way to do this?
