your step event in game controller pauses the game for that number of milliseconds, but since it is in the step event it always repeats, try setting a variable in the game controller's create event.
remove the sleep functions and it won't stop forever.

i created the variable 'Zae' so that after all the points in the map is used, it increases by one, therefore activating the step trigger, but for some reason it dosnt work!!!

       set variable Zae to 1
       create instance of object Score at position (200,0)
       create instance of object Nothing at position (0,0)
       destroy the instance

  Step Event:
if Zae is equal to 1
       play sound sound9; looping: false
       set variable time to 1
       sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
       set variable time to 2
       sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
       set variable time to 3
       sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
       set variable time to 4
       sleep 6000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
       set variable time to 5
       sleep 3000 milliseconds; redrawing the screen: true
       set variable Zae to 0

you have it the wrong way around, you set it different in the step event before creating it.
The variable Zae should start as 0 in the create event, thats it. In the step event you need to make
if Zae=0, then do all the sleep effects and stuff and at the end of that set Zae to 1, then it wont repeat.
