Wait given time unless key pressed

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to create a script that waits a given amount of time unless a given key is pressed. I found a very useful thread here

https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...ss-script.html

however, I cannot figure out a way of avoiding the keypress if the countdown hits zero. is this possible?

Thanks in advance.
