Timer ​

PRO 25 memory Flow & Logic

Wait a number of seconds before the next action runs.

Requires [add-on] - Timers inside the object that runs the action.

Pauses the function for a number of seconds, then continues with the next action. Everything below the timer waits.

Fields ​

Notes ​

• Requires [add-on] - Timers in the object running the function.
• The timer only delays actions after it in the same function. Actions in other functions (other clicks, events) keep running normally.
• Loops: a function that ends with Timer → Activate Function → itself repeats forever. Add a condition on a variable to stop it, or it runs until the next Build.
• Many timers running at the same time slow the object down; keep loops few and intervals at 0.1 s or more.
• Clicking the button again while a timer is pending starts a second run of the function; design toggles with a variable if that matters.

Example: a flashing light ​

Variable $blink = OFF

btn_blink → Change Variable $blink = ON · Activate Function → do_blink
btn_stop  → Change Variable $blink = OFF

do_blink (helper)
├─ Condition $blink == ON
│   └─ success: Point of Light ON · Timer 0.5 · Point of Light OFF · Timer 0.5 · Activate Function → do_blink
└─ (failure: nothing)
