If you ever want to run a piece of code on a timed interval, or want to wait
|
||||
a few seconds, you don't have to rely on timing tricks, as Hilbish has a
|
||||
timer API to set intervals and timeouts.
|
||||
|
||||
These are the simple functions `hilbish.interval` and `hilbish.timeout` (doc
|
||||
accessible with `doc hilbish`). But if you want slightly more control over
|
||||
them, there is the `hilbish.timers` interface. It allows you to get
|
||||
a timer via ID.
|
||||
|
||||
# Timer Interface
|
||||
## Functions
|
||||
- `get(id)` -> timer: get a timer via its id
|
||||
- `create(type, ms, callback)` -> timer: creates a timer, adding it to the timer pool.
|
||||
`type` is the type of timer it will be. 0 is an interval, 1 is a timeout.
|
||||
`ms` is the time it will run for in seconds. callback is the function called
|
||||
when the timer is triggered.
|
||||
|
||||
# Timer Object
|
||||
All those previously mentioned functions return a `timer` object, to which
|
||||
you can stop and start a timer again.
|
||||
|
||||
An example of usage:
|
||||
local t = hilbish.timers.create(1, 5000, function()
|
||||
print 'hello!'
|
||||
end)
|
||||
|
||||
t:stop()
|
||||
print(t.running, t.duration, t.type)
|
||||
t:start()
|
||||
|
||||
## Properties
|
||||
- `duration`: amount of time the timer runs for in milliseconds
|
||||
- `running`: whether the timer is running or not
|
||||
- `type`: the type of timer (0 is interval, 1 is timeout)
|
||||
|
||||
## Functions
|
||||
- `stop()`: stops the timer. returns an error if it's already stopped
|
||||
- `start()`: starts the timer. returns an error if it's already started
|
||||
This has been moved to the `hilbish.timers` API doc (accessible by `doc api hilbish.timers`)
