Set a timer or interval

SetTimer( timernumber, timeout, parameter=0, repeat=0 )

Set up a timer with a timeout (in milliseconds) and an optional user supplied parameter. There are four independent timers available to each script.

After the given timeout, the “@Timer” event handler function will be called.

To cancel a timer, simply set the interval to 0 like this: SetTimer(0, 0)

    main() 
    {
        SetTimer(0, 5000, 1234, TIMER_INF);  // Set up timer to call back every 5 seconds
    }
 
    @Timer(timerno, timeout, param) 
    {
        // Code to run every time the timer expires
    }
