Timers are objects that allow you to execute code after a specified delay. Unlike Threads, Timers do not use coroutines for concurrency. They are designed to run a function once after the delay has passed.
In addition to the Object methods, Timers have the following methods:
| setTime | Sets the time the timer should wait before calling your function |
| start | Starts the timer |
| cancel | Cancels the timer |
Events
| onCall | A custom event which gets triggered as soon as the current timer has finished |
Example
Here's an example of how to create and use a Timer object:
-- Function that will be executed after the timer delay
local function delayedTask()
basalt.debug("This message will be displayed after a 5-second delay")
end
-- Create a new Timer object
local main = basalt.createFrame()
local myTimer = main:addTimer()
myTimer:onCall(delayedTask)
-- Set the time delay and start the timer
myTimer:setTime(5)
myTimer:start()
-- Optionally cancel the timer (not needed in this example, as the timer will finish on its own)
-- myTimer:cancel()
