a few seconds, you don’ t have to rely on timing tricks, as Hilbish has a
timer API to set intervals and timeouts.< / p > < p > These are the simple functions < code > hilbish.interval< / code > and < code > hilbish.timeout< / code > (doc
accessible with < code > doc hilbish< / code > ). But if you want slightly more control over
them, there is the < code > hilbish.timers< / code > interface. It allows you to get
a timer via ID and control them.< / p > < p > All functions documented with the < code > Timer< / code > type refer to a Timer object.< / p > < p > An example of usage:< / p > < pre tabindex = 0 > < code > local t = hilbish.timers.create(hilbish.timers.TIMEOUT, 5000, function()
