I use Javascript and the way I quickly do timers is by logging a start time and wait amount and checking if the current time is greater than the sum of both.

JS:

 var startTime:float;
 var waitInSeconds:float;
 
 function Start(){
      startTime = Time.time;
 }   
 
 function Update(){
      if(Time.time > startTime + waitInSeconds){
           //run code
      }
 }

C# -- Use this as a stand-alone component to add another component after specified time.

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class timer : MonoBehaviour {
     public float waitInSeconds = 1.0F;
     public float startTime;
     
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start(){
         startTime = Time.time;
     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update(){
         if(Time.time > startTime + waitInSeconds){
             gameObject.AddComponent("nameOfScript");
             Destroy (this);
         }
     }
 }

In C#, Coroutines are the standard method for timer-based logic.

Specifically, check out "WaitForSeconds(float sec)"

This example from the documentation is essentially what you need:

 IEnumerator DoCheck() {
     for(;;) {
         ProximityCheck;
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(.1f);
     }
 }

Just call StartCoroutine("DoCheck") once inside your Start() or Awake() method

Oh, so you just want to enable it one time, which is 1 second after startup. So then you don't need an inifinite loop in your coroutine, just put

 IEnumerator Enable$$anonymous$$yTarget()
 {
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
     myTarget.enabled = !myTarget.enabled;
 }
 
 void Start ()
 {
     myTarget = GetComponent<Targetting>();
     StartCoroutine("Enable$$anonymous$$yTarget");
 }
