## Introduction ## Introduction
The timers interface si one to easily set timeouts and intervals
to run functions after a certain time or repeatedly without using If you ever want to run a piece of code on a timed interval, or want to wait
odd tricks. 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 and control them.
All functions documented with the `Timer` type refer to a Timer object.
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()
```
