Editing Timers

[martinmarinov]

Hello. I've noticed that after once I had created a timer it is impossible to change the delay. So am I supposed to create new one? Is there a way to edit already created timers?

if you made put the timer script in script editor you can. otherwise no

Ok, thank you. I'll create timers only in script editor from now on.

Even though you can change the delay in script mode, the timer MUST first exist in the timers list.
The reason for this is that a timer is a premade function to make it easier to make timers;

Professional programmers use for/while loops.

You can find out about for/while loops in any good c programming tutorial/reference page on the net.

Another method is to created your own global clock; For instance, you can create an infinite 1 second timer that makes a variable +=1 each time; then instead of creating a new timer, you can tell it to get the current value of the variable, and execute when the value is 5 more than that (now you've created a 5 second timer).

Like i said, in conventional programming, people create their own timers using for/while loops, the timers in GE are an extra feature Makslane added to make timers easier for beginners.
