Node: timer

Property Data Type Description
value Integer Remaining count-down value, in 10ths of a second, of the timer

See the timer node reference for more information on this property.

Special Note on timer.value and Events

Changes in a timer's value property never generate events.

The timer node's value property may be read and written and will self-count-down when the timer is running, but changes in this property never generate events. This is a notable exception to nearly every other property in SHIP, and is by design. This prevents large numbers of events, one every tenth of a second for every timer.
