<a href=#introduction class=heading-link><i class="fas fa-paperclip"></i></a></h3><p>If you ever want to run a piece of code on a timed interval, or want to wait
a few seconds, you don&rsquo;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><div class=highlight><pre tabindex=0 class=chroma><code class=language-fallback data-lang=fallback><span class=line><span class=ln>1</span><span class=cl>local t = hilbish.timers.create(hilbish.timers.TIMEOUT, 5000, function()
