The [Timer] node is a countdown timer and is the simplest way to handle time-based logic in the engine. When a timer reaches the end of its [member wait_time], it will emit the [signal timeout] signal.
- After a timer enters the tree, it can be manually started with [method start]. A timer node is also started automatically if [member autostart] is [code]true[/code].
+ After a timer enters the scene tree, it can be manually started with [method start]. A timer node is also started automatically if [member autostart] is [code]true[/code].
Without requiring much code, a timer node can be added and configured in the editor. The [signal timeout] signal it emits can also be connected through the Node dock in the editor:
[codeblock]
func _on_timer_timeout():
print("Time to attack!")
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] To create a one-shot timer without instantiating a node, use [method SceneTree.create_timer].
- [b]Note:[/b] Timers are affected by [member Engine.time_scale]. The higher the time scale, the sooner timers will end. How often a timer processes may depend on the framerate or [member Engine.physics_ticks_per_second].
