Timers

Timers generally execute functions after a set interval. Optionally continuous, repeating, and immediate timers are also available.

Single timer

Executes a function once after the specified delay interval.

timer.Once(1f, () =>
{
    Puts("Hello world!");
});

Continuous timer

Executes a function at the specified delay interval (until the timer is manually destroyed or plugin is unloaded).

timer.Every(3f, () =>
{
    Puts("Hello world!");
});

Repeating timer

Executes a function a specific number of times at the specified delay interval. If the number of recurrences is not specified (0), then a repeating timer behaves identically to a continuous timer.

timer.Repeat(5f, 0, () =>
{
    Puts("Hello world!");
});

Immediate timer

Executes a function immediately (in the next frame).

NextFrame(() =>
{
    Puts("Hello world!");
});

Destroying timer

When a timer is no longer operating, it is marked as destroyed. Additionally timers may be destroyed manually if stored in a variable.

Timer myTimer = timer.Every(3f, () =>
{
    Puts("Hello world!");
});

myTimer.Destroy();
if (myTimer.Destroyed)
{
    Puts("Timer destroyed!");
}
