I already have a trigger for it to happen. the person steps in water and the variable wet goes up one triggering the action of the person clothes being ruined by a certain amount for a certain amount of time. Now I just need a way to make it happen. how do I make a variable go down a certain number at a specific time in a cetain amount of time. like his clothes are ruined by 3 every 3 seconds for 12 seconds.

    proc
        Ruined_Cloth()
            var/Wet_Cloth = 1
            var/Wet_Time = 12
            while(Wet_Cloth == 1 || Wet_Time >= 1)
                sleep(100)
                Wet_Time -= 1
                //stuff here
            if(Wet_Time <= 1)
                Wet_Cloth = 0
                //Stuff here

spawn()
   var/TimeOfDamage = 12
   while(TimeOfDamage)
      if((TimeOfDamage/3) == round(TimeOfDamage/3)) //If TimeOfDamage results as a whole number when divided, then it is in the 3 second interval range. 12/3 = 4, 11/3 = 3.66, etc.
         ClothesRuined -= 3 //If ruining them brings it to reach 0, or if you are increasing it so that at 10 or so they are completely ruined obviously change it to adding
      TimeOfDamage--
      sleep(10) //Sleep 1 second.

Alright, thats why I put comments in mine.
spawn()//Makes the following launch without stalling whatever current proc this resides in. If you would rather, you can make this it's own proc.
   var/TimeOfDamage = 12 //Setting how long you want the DPS effect to last.
   while(TimeOfDamage)//While it has a value
      if((TimeOfDamage/3)==round(TimeOfDamage/3))//If TimeOfDamage divided by 3, equals itself when rounded
         Wet += 3 //...
      TimeOfDamage-- //Reducing the amount of time left on the effect
      sleep(10)//Pause for one second...

                sleep(100) // sleeps for a minute
            if(Wet_Time <= 0) // if wet time is equal to less or 0 it will put wet cloth to 0
                Wet_Cloth = 0
                //Stuff here

The remainder operator would be perfect for that, see the % operator.
