| I was wondering if there was a way to Start or stop a timer after reciving an input from the MUX?
Also on a SemiSide note, can i use a trigger to define how many times a timer runs or how long it runs? | | Top |

| The trigger could do:
world.EnableTimer "timername", 0
That would disable it. Or it could delete it:
world.DeleteTimer "timername"
(You would set the trigger to "send to script" to do that).
You could also use a wildcard (or something) in a trigger to define how long a timer ran (this is the time between firings however).
Timers either run:
* once
* every X seconds
* at a particular time
You cannot set a timer to run every (say) 10 seconds for 5 minutes, however you could do that with 2 timers. One which ran every 10 seconds, and another that ran for 5 minutes which deleted the first one.
